Pendulum Lab.. List each measurement name, a representative value [Units] ± σ with explanation. Your two measurements were Length and Period.
In case of compound pendulam
required apparatus are Compound pendulum, stop watch, telescope and pointer
Formula:
The expression for acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ is given by g = 4π2(l/T2) cm/sec2
where l = equivalent length of the simple pendulum (whose time period is T) in cms.
T = Time period of oscillation
In case of Torsional pendulam
required apparatus are Torsional pendulum, Stopwatch, Vertical Pin, Balance, Weight Box, Screw gauge and Scale
Formula:
n = (8π/a4)×(MR2/2)×(L/T2)
Where n = rigidity modulus of the given material
a = radius of the wire
M = mass of the wire
R = radius of the wire
L = length of the given material of the wire
T = time period.
