KEY CONNECTIONS

Formulas

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = t / n

T = \frac{1}{ν}

T = 1 / ν

T = 2 π \frac{l}{g}

T = 2π√(l / g)

T = 2 π \frac{m}{k}

T = 2π√(m / k)

T = 2 π L C

T = 2π√(LC)

NOTATION

$T$: A period is the time of one complete repetition of a process.
$t$: Time is a quantity characterizing the duration and sequence of events.
$n$: The number of cycles is the number of complete repetitions of the process.
$\nu$: Frequency is the number of repetitions of a process per unit of time.
$l$: The length of the pendulum is the distance from the suspension point to the center of mass of the load.
$g$: Gravity acceleration is the acceleration of a body under the influence of gravity without taking into account the resistance of the medium.
$m$: Mass is a scalar physical quantity that is a measure of the inertia of a body.
$k$: The stiffness of a spring is a characteristic of its resistance to deformation.
$L$: Inductance is the ability of a conductor to create a magnetic field when current passes.
$C$: Electrical capacity is the ability of a conductor or capacitor to accumulate charge.
