Study Notes
Simple Pendulum Composition
- Ideal simple pendulum consists of a point mass attached to a massless string of fixed length.
Simple Pendulum Length
- Length of a simple pendulum is represented by the symbol 'L'.
- Length of a simple pendulum is defined as the distance between the point of suspension and the center of the bob.
Constructing a Simple Pendulum
- Practical method for making a simple pendulum involves attaching a small heavy bob to a long, thin, and light string or wire.
Purpose of the Experiment
- Purpose of the experiment with the simple pendulum is to measure the acceleration due to gravity 'g' and to demonstrate the laws of simple harmonic motion.
