A child and an adult are walking. Their legs swing like physical pendulums and both swing through the same maximum angle. The adult is 1.5 times as tall as the child, and all their dimensions are scaled proportionately
They also have the same mass per unit volume. If the walking speed of the adult is 1.3 m/s, what is the walking speed of the child?
