Pendulum Calculator
Calculate the period and frequency of a simple pendulum using T = 2π√(L/g). Enter the pendulum length.
How to Use the Pendulum Calculator
- Enter the length of the pendulum (from pivot to center of mass) in meters.
- Click Calculate to find the period and frequency.
- The result assumes small-angle oscillation.

Fórmula
T = 2π × √(L/g), where T is period (s), L is length (m), g ≈ 9.807 m/s². Frequency f = 1/T.
Perguntas Frequentes
Does mass affect the period?
No, the period of a simple pendulum depends only on its length and gravitational acceleration, not on mass.
Is this accurate for large swings?
This formula is accurate for small angles (< 15°). For large swings, the period is slightly longer.
Is this calculator free?
Yes, all OhMyCalc calculators are completely free.
