    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” (in essence > 10°). Lastly we will look at creating our own pendulum clock to create a period of 1 second. In part B (Mass on a Spring) we will experiment

    Pendula A pendulum consists of an arm of low mass with a bob‚ which has a higher mass‚ on the end. The top of the arm is pivoted so that the pendulum can swing. A pendulum will continue to swing back and forth indefinately‚ until it is stopped by air friction and friction within the pivot. When the angle‚ ƒá‚ between the stationary line of the pendulum (the line towards which the movement tends) and the line of maximum amplitude of the pendulum is quite small‚ then the time period of the pendulum can be
