The pendulum's period is 6 seconds, and its frequency is calculated as the inverse of the period, resulting in approximately 0.167 Hz.

Every 6 seconds a pendulum completes 1 cycle. This means that the period (T) of the pendulum is 6 seconds. Period is the time taken for one complete cycle of oscillation. The frequency (f), which is the number of cycles per unit time, can be calculated using the formula f = 1/T. Hence, the frequency of the pendulum is 1/6 cycles per second or approximately 0.167 Hz.

The period of the pendulum is 6 seconds, which is the time for one complete cycle. Its frequency is approximately 0.167 Hz, indicating it completes roughly 0.167 cycles per second.
