    1) The document describes an experiment measuring the time period of a simple pendulum using a metallic mass, thread, iron stand, and stopwatch. 2) The length of the thread was varied and the time for 10 vibrations was measured and averaged for each length. 3) A table shows that as length increased, the measured time period increased and approximated the theoretical time period calculated from equations, with small differences.

    Measuring time period of a simple pendulum
    TOOLS USED:
    Iron stand, a metallic mass hang by a thread, stopwatch, scale.

    PROCEDURE:
    A simple pendulum consists of a small metallic mass suspended
    by a thread from a rigid support of iron stand.
    Place the iron stand on a table. Measure the length(l1) of the
    thread and the mass is at rest.Hold the mass and move it to one
    side up and release it gently. The mass will start vibrating from
    one point to another.
    Now start the stopwatch and start counting the vibrations, note
    the time for 10 vibrations. Repeat this experiment 2 times for
    length(l1).
    Calculate average time (Ts) for 10 vibrations and divide it by 10 to
    calculate (Tp).
    Repeat the experiment by changing length of pendulum, there will
    be change in time period.
    After noting lengths and corresponding time periods we can relate
    all this information through table.

    TABLE:
    l(m) t1(s) t2(s) t3(s)
    Avg Tp=t\10 Tt=2𝜋 𝑙\𝑔 Tp-Tt
    t(s) (s) (s) (s)
    0.10m 6.76s 6.10s 6.31s 6.37s 0.637s 0.634s 0.003s
    0.15m 7.80s 8.01s 7.91s 7.89s 0.789s 0.777s 0.012s
    0.20m 9.60s 9.20s 9.26s 9.33s 0.933s 0.896s 0.037s
