L(m)
A student carried out an experiment as shown in the diagram above to find out how
the period of the pendulum, T(s) varies with the length, L(m) of pendulum. The table
below shows the values that the student has recorded.
TL
It is believed that T and L are connected by the equation k where k is a
L1.5
constant.
Using a horizontal scale of 1 unit to 10cm and a vertical scale of 1 unit to 10cm for
the vertical axis,
[3]
(i) Plot T against L .
[3]
(ii) Using the graph find the value of k .
[1]
(iii) Using the value of k , calculate the period of the pendulum if the L is 10m.
