Don't forget to write your conclusion. What did you find and support it with your results (quote numbers).

Explanation / Answer

Introduction:

Time period of simple pendulum depends on:

T=2*pi*root(l/g)

Ans No1. No there is no significant difference because time period does not depend on mass.

Ans no 2. Yes there is a difference because time period is directly proportional to square root of its length.

Ans no 3. No because T does not depend on displacement from center. The more dispalcement the more acceleration so same time period in both the degress 5 and 10.

Ans no 4.

For 4 meter long pendulum.

Equation 1. 2.065=2*pi*root(1/10) this is for 1 meter long pendulum

So for 4 meter long.

T=2 * 3.14*(4/10)=double of 1 meter = 2*2.065=4.13 seconds.

Conclusion: The time period only depends on length and is directly proportional to its square root.
