). Below are common answers for a standard pendulum lab worksheet. 1. The Core Equation The mathematical relationship for a simple pendulum is:

: Length of the pendulum (measured from the pivot to the center of the mass). : Acceleration due to gravity (approximately on Earth). 2. Common Variables & Relationships

: To get a straight line for your data, you should plot Period squared ( T2cap T squared ) vs. Length ( ) . The slope of this line is equal to
