AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a pendulum experiment aimed at calculating the value of "g" using the formula T^2 = 4(pi)^2/g. The user is confused about how to correctly derive the time period (T) and T^2 from their experimental data, which includes effective length (EL) and various time measurements. They present three trials with different lengths and times but seek clarification on how to organize and interpret these values. Additional input is requested to understand the variables and ensure accurate calculations. The conversation emphasizes the need for clear presentation of data to solve for "g" effectively.

I Need help...I'm not getting the value of "g" correctly..please someone help/
This is a pendulum experiment to find "g".

S L EL T TT T^2 G


1 80 82.43 35 35/80?? (35/80)^2?
2 70 72.43 33 33/70?? (33/70)^2?
3 60 62.43 31 31/60?? same


Plz help me find the value of g , time period and t^2...i'm getting confused...or missing out something...nd not getting the reqd result...when i apply T^2 = 4(pi)^2/g formula/...PLZ HELP!

EL =Effctive Length
TT =Time Period
 
What are all your variables/values and what exactly are you trying to solve?
It looks like you have three trials with different values for everything but it isn't presented in a manner that makes sense without some more explanation.

S is sample? L is length? T is time?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
