T = 2 pi sqrt (L/g)
T^2 = 4 pi^2 L / g
g = 4 pi^2 L/T^2
(your final choice)
The period, T, of a pendulum is related to the pendulum's length, L and the constant acceleration of gravity, g, by the equation
A student has measured the period of a pendulum for various lengths and wants to linearize the data to extract directly the acceleration of gravity as the slope of a straight line. To get this straight line, the student must ...
Answer
Plot L / T2 vs. 4π2
Plot g T2 vs. 4π2 L
Plot T vs. 2πL1/2
