PHYS 1433 09/24/2023 Lab 22: The Simple Pendulum Objectives: In the Simple Pendulum experiment, we determined the different attributes of the simple pendulum. The measurements of oscillators were measured and recorded through computer software during the experiment as being necessary for finding the acceleration due to gravitational pull. Theoretical background: A pendulum’s motion can be described as an object (mass) hung from a fixed point that swings from left to right, and back to the starting point under the acceleration and or action of gravity, such as the moon. This motion can be defined as periodic motion. A simple pendulum is classified as a centered mass known as bob. When the bob changes direction from its center origin to a random point and is released, then this will cause a periodic motion. Bob begins at period A, swings to period B, then to period C, then gradually will return to A until it reaches a complete halt at its origin. Procedure: 1. The length of the pendulum must be adjusted each time from its point of suspension to center point of the bob, our first measurement from the point of suspension is 0.4 m. 2. Start the pre-setup software used to record the number of times the pendulum goes through the photogate per 8-10 cycles. 3. Place the photogate timer under the area where you want the pendulum (bob) to swing through, and either left or right move the pendulum (bob) no more than 20 degrees so that it may swing. 4. Time the photogate with the pendulum swing and start the software in order to record the 8- 10 cycles. 5. Repeat each step for the remainder of pendulum string lengths {60cm,80 cm,1.0cm,1.2cm} as used in table 22.1 in the textbook.
