Answer: It required 2.485 seconds for one leg to swing forward after completing a stride.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{G}}[/tex]
L represents the length of leg of an elephant.
G represents gravitational value
T represents the time period
Let the leg of elephant look like a cylinder
So, it becomes,
[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{2L}{3G}}\\\\T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 2.3}{3\times 9.8}}\\\\T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{4.6}{29.4}}\\\\T=2.485\ seconds[/tex]
Hence, it required 2.485 seconds for one leg to swing forward after completing a stride.
