So basically it is there, just canceled. So they basically 'mixed' the 2 formulas to create a formula for g and because of that the mass got canceled out. So if you would calculate the gravitational force mass is important.

Wow so that is like really close to the 'official' g. So also the amount of periods (cycles) really matter. Well actually I start to believe like every single thing matters in this. The thing I am still wondering about. I thought the mass would be a very important thing to calculate g. So I was...

It's indeed really accurate. Though I didn't expect the weight of the cable/rope could affect it too. So it's pretty interesting to know. The thing I saw with the measurement of the UK was, the actual period you needed to calculate the actual gravity was 2.69116 seconds. Which would then be...

Thank you so much! (All of you though) Thanks for your time and effort :D

Yeah so what I first did was measure 1 period but because there is a thing called reaction time I came out on a g of 12. something. after that I measured the time of 10 periods and then divided the time by 10 so 1 got the average time of 1 period. After calculating g with the new number I got...

@OmCheeto Thank you so much! Is it possible for you to send a picture of it? So I could show it to my teacher?

@jtbell Yes indeed! @sophiecentaur I did do it myself but the thing is, I can't go out of the country just to measure the acceleration of gravity there. And indeed it was a translation mistake :) @Drakkith okay so, I kinda do get your point but I will explain. I am doing this thing called TTO...

Hi everyone, First of all, I am new to this thing and I hope you guys can help me with this. So I am Ruzanna, a freshman,(I am 14 years old) and live in the Netherlands. So, I have this project for physics where I had to make my own pendulum, and use it to calculate the gravity here. Well I...
