About This Product
The simple pendulum is one of the first experiments in mechanics and oscillations. A bob swings on a cord from a fixed support, and the time of swing depends on the length of the pendulum. Students time a number of swings with the stopwatch, measure the length with the rule, and show that the periodic time is proportional to the square root of the length. The same readings are used to calculate the acceleration due to gravity and to check the equation of motion. Setting up is quick and the measurements need only simple instruments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What experiments can be done with the Simple Pendulum?
