This is College Physics Answers with Shaun Dychko. We are asked to find the period of a 1.00 meter long simple pendulum. So the formula for period is 2π times the square root of the length of the pendulum divided by acceleration due to gravity. So that's 2π times square root of 1.00 meter divided by 9.80 meters per second squared which is 2.01 seconds.
