4. Set the thread length of approximately 0.56 m using the steel ruler.
Avoid parallax errors.
6. Repeat procedure (4) and (5) by reducing the thread length according
to Table 1.1 given in sub-topic 1.4.5.
7. Repeat procedure (4), (5) and (6) using the pendulum of wooden bob.
8. Despite the difference in mass (steel m = 520g and wood m = 50g) the
period of oscillation is identical, examine the time, is it identical too.
9. Manually using the theory formula, calculate the time for one
oscillation.
5.3.2 EXPERIMENT 2: Experiment of rod pendulum and thread
pendulum of wooden bob with same centre of gravity distance.
2. Use the apparatus shown in Figure 1.3 below, rod pendulum with a
length of 800 mm. One end of the 800 mm long pendulum rod is
provided with a knife-edge and the rod then placed in the vees of the
pendulum mount. The pendulum is gently set in motion (deflection at
bottom end roughly 10 cm) and the time taken for twenty oscillations
measured with a stopwatch. Get the average time from three readings.
Use Table 1.2 in sub-topic 1.4.5 for guidance.
3. Manually using the theory formula, calculate the time for one
oscillation.

4. Refer Figure 1.2 and repeat procedure in 1.3.1., No. 2, by using the
thread pendulum with length 400 mm, where the centre gravity are
the same as the rod pendulum, rs-0 = L/2= 800/2=400 mm. The
pendulum is gently set in motion (deflection at bottom end roughly 10
cm) and the time taken for twenty oscillations measured with a
stopwatch. Get the average time from three readings. Use Table 1.2
in sub-topic 1.4.5 for guidance.
