Solution

Time taken to complete one oscillation is called as the time period of the pendulum.

$T i m e p e r i o d (t) = \frac{(T o t a l t i m e t a k e n)}{(N u m b e r o f o s c i l l a t i o n)} G i v e n : 20 o s c i l l a t i o n s t a k e 32 s e c o n d s T h e r e f o r e 1 o s c i l l a t i o n w i l l t a k e, t = \frac{32}{20} = 1.6 s e c o n d s T h e r e f o r e t h e t i m e p e r i o d o f t h e p e n d u l u m i s 1.6 s .$
