T= 2rV
where e is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity, in units of length divided by time squared. Show that fhis equation Is dimersionally consistent. (You might want to check the formula

The distance of a swinging pendulum from its resting position is given by the function dit)
= 5.5cos(8), where the distance is in inchès and the time is in seconds. Once released, how
long will it take the pendulum to reach its resting position? Round your answer to the
nearest hundredth.
The period p of a pendulum, or time it takes for the pendulum, or the time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete swing, varies directly as the square root of the length L of the pedulum. If the period of a pendulum is 1.1 s when the length is 2 f, find the period when the length is 7 ft. Round to the nearest hundredth.
