PHY 200 & 230
Lab PDF 1Lab PDF 2
Based on Loyd #19. The purpose of this experiment is to utilize the properties of pendulum oscillation to verify constants such as gravity. In this experiment, students will determine how the period of a pendulum is dependent only on the length of the pendulum and not the mass of the object.
