Problem

A physics club wants to construct a pendulum that completes 1.501.50 oscillations every second at their city where g=9.81 m s−2g = 9.81\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}. (i) Determine the required length of the pendulum. (ii) Express this length in millimetres in scientific notation, correct to three significant figures.
