The correct answer is: 1.0 beats per second.

Explanation:

A second pendulum is defined as a pendulum that has a period of exactly 2 seconds — 1 second for a swing in one direction and 1 second to return.

1 beat per second is the right answer.

Muhammad Tabish said:   3 years ago
A pendulum which executes one beat per second i.e. one complete oscillation in two seconds is called the second pendulum. So, the correct option is B.

1 oscillation = 2 beats.

So, the correct answer is 0.5 beat

Saqib said:   5 years ago
It should be 1 beat per second.

Jas said:   8 years ago
Yes, you are right @Sagar.

Sagar bhongade said:   8 years ago
1 beat per second is the correct answer.
1 oscillation = 2 beat.

Here,

1 beat per second
1 oscillation per 2 second
0.5 frequency of oscillation

T=2π √ L/g,
Where L=1,
g = 9.81.

2 second is Correct. 0.5 is frequency of that.
