Hydro Lab#2

The document contains raw experimental data from an experiment measuring the oscillation of two plumb bobs with different masses and lengths. The data includes measurements of oscillation period using stopwatches for various displaced angles of the plumb bobs. The periods were used to calculate oscillation frequencies and the local acceleration due to gravity, which were compared to assumed values.
