As learnt in

Time period of oscillation of simple pendulum -

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

- wherein

l = length of pendulum 

g = acceleration due to gravity.

 

 T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

N_{S} 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{5}{g}} = N_{L}\times 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{20}{g}}

\therefore N_{S} = 2N_{L}\ \ \ \ where \ \ N_{L} = 1

\therefore N_{S} = 2
