1. the simple pendulum
... to -Q , with this it would only be reasonable to conclude that; a -Q Thus we find that the oscillation of the pendulum is simple harmonic motion as I had previously predicted. Using the formula I derived i.e. W = g/L, I will now go on to mathematically prove the value of g and show that time period of a pendulum does depend on gravity and length. W = g/L Where W = 2 f Therefore substituting to get; 2 f = ... 2 g/L Thus T= 2 g/L; showing T depends only on L & g and is independent of the mass of the bob and the amplitude of oscialltion. Where T L or T L And T 1/ g or T 1/g Therefore T = 4...
