Introduction
The aim of this experiment was to experimentally find the time period of a simple pendulum, and use to compute the local acceleration due to gravity. These values were compared with the theoretical predictions based on the equation, =2πLg , where T is the time period, L is the effective length of the simple pendulum (measured quantity) and g is the local acceleration due to gravity. In order to compute the total error between the predicted and actual values, the effects of all random errors in each measured quantity ...
