A pendulum swings as far out as you care to set it going, irrespective of length.
There's no relationship between the length of the pendulum and the number of swings.However, a shorter pendulum has a shorter period, i.e. the swings come more often.So a short pendulum has more swings than a long pendulum has in the same amountof time.
The pendulum has an arm length of 0.06 meters or 2.36 inches.
A shorter pendulum will make more swings per second. Or per minute. Or whatever.
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
