Expert Answer
(a) A simple pendulum consists of a small metal ball (called bob) suspended by a long thread from a rigid support, such that the bob is free to swing back and forth.
The time period of a simple pendulum is the time taken by the pendulum bob to make one complete oscillation.
(b) False
(c) Time for 20 complete oscillations = 36 s
Time fo 1 complete oscillation = 36/20 = 1.8 s
So, time period of the pendulum = 1.8 s
