t = 2*pi*sqrt(L/g) where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the force of gravity.

Which of these pendulums would have the greatest length measured in meters a pendulum with a period of 2 seconds or a pendulum with a period of 1.5 seconds?
It doesn't matter what unit you use to measure the physical length of the pendulum. As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter what unit you use to measure the duration of its period either. If both are at rest on the same planet, then the penduum with the longer string has the longer period. Period!
How does length effect the period of a pendulum?
A longer pendulum has a longer period.
In simple pendulum if string is flexible then what is effect on time period?
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.
How can you increase the period of a pendulum?
Increase the length of the pendulum
What does the period of a pendulum depend on?
The length of the pendulum and the gravitational pull.
How can you find effective length of a simple pendulum?
Measure the period, the period is directly proportional to the square root of the length.
How can pendulum be used to determine local gravitational acceleration?
Measure the length and the period
What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.

What is the length of a pendulum with a period of 1.49 s?
pendulum length (L)=1.8081061073513foot pendulum length (L)=0.55111074152067meter
How does length effect the period of a pendulum?
A longer pendulum has a longer period.
In simple pendulum if string is flexible then what is effect on time period?
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.
How does the period of a pendulum change for length?
A longer pendulum has a longer period. A more massive pendulum has a longer period.
How can you increase the period of a pendulum?
Increase the length of the pendulum
Value of g by simple pendulum?
You can build a simple pendulum - one that has most of its mass concentrated in a small place, at the end of the pendulum. Measure the pendulum's length, and measure how long it takes to go back and forth. Use the formula for the period of a pendulum, solving for "g".
How does the period of a pendulum difference theoretically with length for simple pendulum?
The period is directly proportional to the square root of the length.
How does the period of a pendulum vary?
The period depends only on the acceleration due to gravity and the length of the pendulum. Gravitational acceleration depends on the location on the surface of the earth: latitude, altitude play a part. Also, some pendulums are subject to thermal expansion and so the length changes. These factors do impact on the period of a pendulum.
