AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the time period and frequency of a pendulum that oscillates 40 times in 4 seconds, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Frequency (f)** is defined as the number of oscillations (or cycles) per unit time. It is measured in hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz = 1 oscillation per second. - **Time Period (T)** is the time taken for one complete oscillation. It is the reciprocal of frequency, given by the formula: \[ T = \frac{1}{f} \] ...
