Problem

In a physics experiment the angular frequency of a simple pendulum is measured to be 5.0 rad s−15.0\,\text{rad s}^{-1} at the same location where g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m s}^{-2}. (a) Calculate the length of the pendulum. (b) Determine the numerical value of its frequency in hertz. (c) Express the frequency obtained in part (b) in revolutions per minute (rpm).
