You are pushing your nephew on a playground swing. The swing seat is suspended from a horizontal bar by two light chains. Assume that the estimation of the length of each chain is 2.0 m. Treat the motion of the child as that of a simple pendulum and assume that for safety the amplitude of the motion is kept small. You give your nephew a light push each time he reaches his closest distance from you. How much time elapses between your pushes? Express your answer with appropriate units.
