Theory based;
Using a pendulum to determine g
Method:
1. Set up the retort stand and clamp on the edge of a desk. Tie on the string and adjust its length to about 90cm before attaching a 50g mass carrier.
2. Using the metre rule, carefully measure the length of the pendulum from the knot...
I can do the solution, I do not understand the theory!
Here it is:
Using a pendulum to determine g using T = 2π√(l/g)
(that little n looking thing is pi)
(given l and T)
So, then we get
T^2 = (4π^2/g) x l
This is where I get lost.
Supposedly, I am to make the equation T^2 = kl...
