The period of the pendulum is 6 seconds.

What is period?

Period is the time taken for a simple pendulum to move to(forward) and fro(backward). The s.i unit of period is seconds(s).

Note: When a simple pendulum moves to and fro. it completes one cycle.

From the question, The period of the pendulum is calculated using the formula below.

Formula

  • T = a+b.............. Equation 1

Where:

  • T = Period of the pendulum
  • a = Time taken for the pendulum to move forward
  • b = Time taken for the pendulum to move backward.

From the question,

Given:

  • a = 3 seconds
  • b = seconds

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • T = 3+3
  • T = 6 seconds.

Hence, The period of the pendulum is 6 seconds.
