Inference:
The period of oscillation is affected by the mass of plasticine.
Hypothesis:
The bigger the mass, the longer will be the period of oscillation
Aim:
To investigate the relationship between mass, m and the square of its period of oscillation, T2
Variable: Manipulated variable: Mass, m Responding variable : Period, T Constant variable:Mass of pendulum bob, m
Diagram
Procedure:
1.The apparatus was set up as shown in figure. 2.The length of thread,l was measured by a metre rule, starting with 20.0 cm. The bob of the pendulum was displaced and released. 3.The time for 20 complete oscillation, t was taken using stopwatch. Calculate the period t of oscillation by using T
20
5.The experiment was repeated using different of lengths, l =40.0 cm, 60.0 cm, 80.0 cm and 90.0 cm.
