The feeling of enlightenment when learning something new is replaced by irritation when you ask yourself why you didn’t learn it sooner. A mission most children wish to pursue is the

Simple Pendulum Experiment In this experiment you will make a simple pendulum consisting of a plumb bob and a piece of string anchored at two points. By attaching the string to two points the normal precession that would occur will be eliminated.

Goals The purpose of the lab experiment is to explore simple harmonic motion (SHM). We will accomplish this through the validation of harmonic calculations and ultimately creating a time piece (oscillator) Method In part A (Simple Pendulum) we will measure the effects of mass on the period of the pendulum. We will also calculate the period using small angular displacements and compare the results. We will also explore the effects on the period when the angular displacement is not “very small”
