Worksheet on the experiment of the simple pendulum.

Make an hypothesis: As length of the pendulum increases, time-period of the pendulum

increases/decreases.

A. Draw the experimental set up.

B. Observation Table:

Length Time for 10 Time period Time period^2

Oscillations
L /cm t /secs T /secs T^2 /secs^2

C. Find from the table above if L increases what happens to Time period T?
D. Which quantities has a linear relation L vs T or L vs T^2?

E. How a study on the dependence of T on amplitude or mass of bob of simple pendulum can
be performed?
