A Seconds pendulum executes

A. 0.5 beat per second

B. 1.0 beat per second

C. 2.0 beats per second

D. 2.5 beats per second

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is Option B: 1.0 beat per second
Here's why:
A seconds pendulum is defined as a pendulum that takes exactly one second to swing in one direction.
This means it takes one second to complete half of its full swing (from one extreme point to the other).
A "beat" refers to one such swing.
Since it takes 1 second for one beat, it means it has 1.0 beat per second.
