Period ( left swing + right swing) of a simple pendulum = 2*pi * sqrt (L/g) in seconds. g = 32.2 feet per second2 L = 32 inches = 2.66667 feet Period = 2*pi * sqrt ( 2.66667ft/32.2) = 2*pi * 0.287777 = 1.808158 seconds for one period (two swings). Periods in one minute = 60 sec / 1.808158 sec = 33.183 periods in one minute. Times 2 = 66.366 swings in one minute.
That depends on the period of the clock's pendulum. If we assume it's one second, then it does 1800 cycles in half an hour.
assume the cycle starts when the pendulum is at the top left. It will go to the bottom, to the top right, to the bottom and then back to the top left. The time it takes it to do this is the period. 60 seconds in a minute and 60 divide by 15 is 4. Therefore you will have 4 cycles.
