Analysis
● values obtained from calculation and from measurement, the values of the
period differ slightly.
● Value of period from measurement is 0.83s. The value from calculation, on the
other hand, was 0.89s.
● Due to this, the calculated percent difference between the two values is 7 %.
● From obtained results, the values of period from calculation tend to be more
accurate than that from measurement. This is because the the measurement of
length of the wood suspending the mass tend to be more accurate than
observing a mass oscillate.
● In observing the mass oscillate, the observer require a very reactive response to
completion of oscillation. Therefore, more chances of error can occur when
measuring the actual time of oscillation rather than using formula for
calculation.
● The error could have also resulted from irregular shaking of pendulum left and
right, which was not supposed to happen.
