String length Δg g Δg/g L1 = 0.45 m 0.029 8.22 0.00353 L2 = 0.30 m 0.039 8.22 0.00474 L3 = 0.40 m 0.032 8.22 0.00389 Time Period vs. Amplitude Now investigate the relationship between amplitude or how far you’ve lifted the pendulum and period, T . Keeping the length of your pendulums fixed at 100cm (or any desired length), measure the period in the same manner as before, while varying the angle (x) that you’ve released the pendulum from. Measure T for various values of x . Enter data in the table below. It is okay to not know the specific angle, simply chose a specific location to release the pendulum from for x1 and do a different angle/location for x2 and x3 X 1 X 2 X 3 String l 0.40m 15 30 50 T 1.326 1.362 1.356 1.332 1.324 1.406 1.344 1.358 1.426 Average T 1.334 1.348 1.396 To determine if changing the amplitude had any effect on the period, plot x vs T and add a trendline with a trendline equation. Following the procedure in the lab manual, calculate the relative percent variation in the T measurements from your x vs T data. Show your work and report your result in the space below. Relative % variation =((1.396-1.334)/1.396)*100=4.44%
