Solution

Time period: The time taken by a simple pendulum to complete one oscillation is called its time period.

Number of oscillations = 20
Time taken for 20 oscillations = 32 s

$T i m e p e r i o d = \frac{T o t a l t i m e t a k e n}{n u m b e r o f o s c i l l a t i o n s}$

$T i m e p e r i o d = \frac{32 s}{20} = 1.6 s$

Thus, the time period of the pendulum is 1.6 s.
