Experimental Period
3. Using the data in Table 5.2, calculate the average time for 3 oscillations.
4. Calculate the period by dividing these times by 3 and record the periods in Table 5.2.
Questions
1. Does the period vary as the angle is changed?
2. How do the experimental values compare with the theoretical values?
3. Does the equilibrium position change as the angle is changed?
4. What would be the period if the angle was 90 degrees?
