Double the period = 2x, and that is the square root of the change in length, so you would have to quadruple the length of the pendulum.
 
pendulum how long to double? The period of a pendulum is the time elapsed during one complete swing of the pendulum. This period varies directly with the square root of the length of the pendulum

In order to double the period, how would we have to change the length?



1. We would have to double it
2. We would have to triple it
3. We would have to quadruple it
4. It would have to be eight times as long.

Please tell me the answer and why, thank you!
