Galileo figured out the equation that describes the behavior of a pendulum. If you square both sides of the equation, you will find that the slope of the line is related to the acceleration due to gravity (g). Specifically, slope = 4PI^2/g. Use your data to calculate g. How does it compare with the accepted value of 9.807 m/s2?

Question

Am I supposed to just to calculate the slope of my data from my lab?

Answer 1

Use the slope that was calculated from
your lab data to calculate g using the
given equation.
