Miami-Dade College – Wolfson Campus 2 ANALYSIS ( TYPE YOUR ANSWERS INSIDE THE BOXES PROVIDED ) PART-1 1. Use LoggerPro to plot a graph of Period ( T ) vs. Length ( L ). Choose Curve Fit from the Analyze menu. Select Manual as the Fit Type. Select the Power function from the General Equation list. 2. Use LoggerPro to plot the Period Squared ( T 2 ) vs. Length ( L ). Choose Curve Fit from the Analyze menu. Select Manual as the Fit Type. Select the Linear function from the General Equation list. Write the “Linear Fit” equation of your graph, the Correlation, and the RMS. What does the slope of the “Linear Fit” equation represent? From the slope, calculate the experimental value of the acceleration of gravity (g) and the percent error with its accepted value of 9.81 m/s 2 . Write the “Best Fit” equation of your graph, the Correlation and the RMSE. g exp (m/s 2 ) Percent Error (%) Linear-Fit Equation Correlation RMSE Slope:
