The time taken for a pendulum to swing from rest position X to its maximum displacement Y is 1.5s. What is the period of the pendulum?

-
period = 4 * 1.5 s
from rest to max displacement is followed by
max displacement to rest, then
rest to min displacement, then
min displacement to rest.
that's 4 similar segments, so multiply given time by 4 to get period.
