2. Pull the pendulum bob aside and release it. Let the pendulum
swing for a while.
3. After a few swings , start the stopwatch to measure the time taken
by the pendulum to make 10 oscillations.4. Record the time taken in the table provided.
5. Repeat Steps 2 to 4, using pendulum lengths of 60cm, 80 cm and
100cm.
Method 1: The apparatus was set up as shown in the diagram 1 and the length of the
pendulum was adjusted to 40 cm.
