Experiment-1 Simple pendulum: Aim: The main aim of this simple pendulum experiment is to investigate the relationship between the time period of a simple pendulum (oscillation) and the effective length (total length) of the simple pendulum. The three variables in Experiment-1 Simple pendulum: Independent variable: The independent variable in this experiment is the length of the string of the pendulum that could be changed. Dependent variable: The dependent variable is the time period for one…

Name: Institution: Course: Instructor: Date of Submission: Pendulum and spring Abstract In this lab, two systems namely a pendulum and a spring that exhibit simple harmonic motion were studied. The systems were subjected to a mass of known weight and allowed to oscillate. Afterwards, the period of each was determined. In addition, the harmonic properties in the systems and their limiting factors were determined through quantitative calculations. Introduction Any system that exhibits back and…
