    For a pendulum with a massless rope 'L' meters long, swinging through

    a small arc, the period of the swing is

    2 π √ (L/g) seconds.

    and it doesn't depend on the mass of the thing on the end of the rope ...

    that could be a pebble or a bus.

    For the girl on the 2.5-m rope,

    Period = (2 π) √ (2.5 / 9.8) = 3.17 seconds

    Frequency = 1 / period = about 0.315 Hz.
