is to study the period of the pendulum with different masses. Secondly to also study the relationship in the different lengths of the string and how it affects the period. Thirdly to find the different (time) periods in the changes in the arc size. Theory If the pendulum is set ‚ the force of the motion is used to swing back and forth . where the t period is the time the pendulum takes to complete a cycle of oscillation. As t-1/f the complete distance of the pendulum and its mass is finished ‚ the

The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allen Poe‚ and The Lowest Animal by Mark Twain have many differences but one central theme. They both express the belief that the human race can be destructive. Both stories have very different settings. Poe’s story The Pit and the Pendulum takes place in a completely pitch black room. From lines 102 - 103 the narrator says‚ “the blackness of eternal night encompassed me”(pg.252). The narrator wakes up and tries to navigate and almost falls in a pit. He was put

PCS125 Lab – The Simple Pendulum Objective and Background Objective: The Objective of this experiment is to examine the simple harmonic motion and to determine the value of the acceleration due to gravity from the analysis of the period of the simple pendulum. [1] Background: There are three equations that will be used to calculate the period of motion of the simple pendulum. They are the slope of the line of the graph of T² against L‚ and the gravity of the pendulum motion. The period of the

Introduction: The study of the ballistic pendulum began with Benjamin Robins in the early 1700 ’s. Robins was an English mathematician and writer on ballistics‚ and used this testing apparatus for the evaluation of the strength of gunpowder and the measurement of air resistance (Calvert‚ 2006). At the time of the American Revolution a loyalist named Benjamin Thompson also utilized and expanded the use to the ballistic pendulum. He further evaluated the efficiency of gunpowder. He fired from

Pendulum Problems ACTIVITY 1: Copy and paste the example problem and the steps‚ so that the steps are in the correct order into a new Word document and upload it to Moodle. Example Problem 1: A hypnotist swings her watch from 20.0cm chain in front of a subject’s eyes. What is the period of the swing of the watch. Thus‚ we see that the pendulum used by the hypnotist has a period of 0.898s. | Before we can use this formula‚ however‚ we must ensure all our variables are in the correct units.

The Inverted Pendulum is inherently unstable‚ higher order multi-variable and highly coupled system which can be treated as typical non-linear control problem. [1] This is the benchmark for designing‚ testing‚ evaluating and comparing of different classical and contemporary control methods. The control of IP has been a research interest in the field of control engineering because it is the most difficult system being an inherently unstable and highly nonlinear. So this system became a choice of dynamic

Using a Pendulum to Determine g Aim: To determine the rate of acceleration due to gravity using the motion of a pendulum. Hypothesis: The numerical g value measured on earth is estimated to be 9.8 ms-2 Apparatus: * Retort Stand * Boss head and clamp * Approximately 1 metre of string * 50g mass carrier or pendulum bob * Stopwatch * Metre ruler Theory: When a simple pendulum swings with a small angle‚ the mass on the end performs a good approximation of the back-and-forth

How a Pendulum Works Isaac Olson Mitch Koebnick‚ Kyle Orr 13 September 2013 A Period Purpose There are three purposes of this experiment. The first purpose is to determine the relationship of the period and the amplitude of the pendulum. The second purpose is to determine the relationship of the period and the mass of the pendulum. The final‚ but most certainly not the least‚ purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship of the period and the length of the pendulum. Procedure

.:First experiment:. .Problem: How will the length of a pendulum affect the amount of swings per minute? .Hypothesis: I believe that the length of the pendulum will affect the amount of swings per minute because when the string is shorter in length‚ there would be less friction between the string and the atmosphere‚ causing the string to go faster. .Materials: * String ( should be 70-90 cm long) * Metal washers * Stopwatch * Metric ruler * Stand * Extra washers (You will
