Simple Pendulum
PHY 100 & 103
The purpose of this experiment is to utilize the properties of pendulum oscillation to verify constants such as gravity. In this experiment, students will determine how the period of a pendulum is dependent only on the length of the pendulum and not the mass of the object.
Equipment

Notes
The strings have to be at least 160 cm long. The pendulum bobs are the metal balls with eye hooks.
