LAB 6 Fearghus Tyler Physics 214 11/07/2023 Objective: Perform an experiment that uses simple harmonic motion to evaluate g as the acceleration due to gravity. Using a simple pendulum and measuring equipment, Newtons laws will be proven through equations known. Question 1: Forces acting on the pendulum in the lab image include gravity, tension in the string, Question 2:
Question 3: Most certainly gravity is acting as the restoring force as it is trending towards equilibrium. Question 4: When performing the swinging of the pendulum I will mark the ledge I am hanging it from with an angle less than 10 degrees. Question 5: I am utilizing a measuring tape with a possible inaccuracy of +- .1 cm. Due to my eyes. Question 6: Taking into consideration y=mx+b Question 7: Determining gravity from the slope of T^2 versus L and using equation 6.1, we can take the slope found and divide it like so: 4pi^2/slope = g.
