The Period of a Pendulum calculator computes the period (T) of a pendulum based on the length (L) and acceleration due to gravity (g) .

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose the preferred units and enter the following:

  • (L) This is the length of the pendulum. 

Period (T): The calculator returns the period in seconds (s).  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.  Note, this calculator uses the constant acceleration due to gravity at sea level.

The Math / Science

The Period of a Pendulum equation calculates the period of a simple pendulum given that the amplitude is small. 

This equation is derived from the equation T=2π/ω where ω=√gL. After substitution for ω , we get the resulting equation as shown above
