Correct answer: A. 7.5

Period of simple pendulum: T = time number of oscillations Initial period: T_1 = (10)/(20) = 0.5 s Required period: T_2 = (10)/(40) = 0.25 s Using T = 2π (L)/(g) , the ratio is: (T_2)/(T_1) = (L_2)/(L_1) (0.25)/(0.5) = (L_2)/(30) 0.5 = (L_2)/(30) 0.25 = (L_2)/(30) L_2 = 7.5 cm
