Time Measurement, Units and Measuring Devices problem 7


The figure below shows a pendulum bob which swings from point A to B.




A student starts a stop-watch when the bob reaches point A. He counts each time the bob changes direction and stops the watch on the twentieth change in direction. If the watch shows a time of 15.0 seconds, what is the period of the pendulum?
