Remark ( / )

Aim
The aim of this experiment is to determine the relationship between length ,l and period of
oscillation, T of pendulum.
Prosedure
1. Arrange the apparatus as figure 1.

2. Adjust the thread so that the length,l from the centre of the bob to the point of
suspension is 20.0cm.
3. Displaced the bob to the side and allowed to oscillate at small angle.
4. Measure time,t for 20 oscillation with a stopwatch.
5. Calculate period of oscillation T=t/20 .
6. Calculate the square of period of oscillation, T2.
7. Repeat the process for l=30.0cm, 40.0cm, 50.0cm and 60.0cm.
