Step 1: The given data

Full swing time is3.2 s .

Step 2: Understanding the concept of the period of Simple Harmonic Motion

Using the formula for the period of a simple pendulum, we can find the length of a simple pendulum.

Formula:

The time period of a simple pendulum in SHM,

$T = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Step 3: Calculation of the length of the pendulum

Using equation (i), we have the value of the length of the pendulum as: $L = \frac{T^{2} g}{4 π} = \frac{3.2 s^{2} \times 9.8 m / s^{2}}{4 π^{2}} = 2.54 m$

Hence, the required value of length is 2.54m.
