Sorry, let me rephrase the question. Basically what I am trying to work out is how the radius is related to the period of an object undergoing circular motion with a constant centripetal force. My experimental results don't seem to show any discernable relationship.

I recently completed an experiment about centripetal motion in which we attached a string to a weighed mass and passed the string through a glass tube, tying the free end to another weighed mass. We then moved the tube so the upper mass traced out circular motion and recorded the period of...
