AIM: To determine the relationship between a period and the length of the simple pendulum.

AIM: To determine the relationship between a period and the length of the simple pendulum.

Apparatus:

• Long thread
• Bob
• Metre rule
• Stopwatch
• Retort stand
• Clamp

Procedure:

1.  The clamp was attached to the retort stand.
2.  A metre rule was used to measure the different length of the thread.
3.  The thread was attached to the clamp with the bob attached at the bottom of the thread.
4.  The length of the thread was noted.
5.   We had then moved the thread with the bob between 5  to 10 .
6.  The thread was then allowed to do few oscillations before we started the stopwatch.
7.  After 3-4 oscillations, we started the stopwatch and counted 20 oscillations.
8.  As soon as the 20 oscillations were completed, we stopped the stopwatch and recorded its time taken.
9.  The experiment was repeated 3 times.
10.  After that, we varied the length of the thread and we repeated step 3 to 10 for about 10 times.
