AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks whether we can hear the sound produced by the vibrations of a seconds' pendulum and requires a reason for the answer. 2. **Identifying the Frequency of a Seconds' Pendulum**: A seconds' pendulum is defined as one that takes one second to complete a full swing (back and forth). The frequency of this pendulum is calculated as the number of oscillations per second. For a seconds' pendulum, the frequency is approximately 0.5 Hz. 3. **Understanding Human Hearing Range**: The normal human ear can hear sounds within a frequency range of approximately 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). Any sound below 20 Hz is considered infrasonic and is not audible to humans. ...
