PAScar Accessory Track Set (2.2 Meter)

®

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?
