Simple Pendulum: The gradient of the graph of T^2 against length
I've been asked to investigate the value of g. My graph shows that the gradient is around 4.4 as when the length was 0.27m, the squared time period was 1.18s (since this is a T2 against L graph). My question is, of course, why? If I am detecting g, which is 9.81 on earth, why did I get such...- Tangeton
