Factors Affecting the Swing of a Pendulum

... SAM BOOTH COURSE WORK January 2001 FACTORS AFFECTING THE SWING OF A PENDULUM RESEARCH A pendulum is described as a weight suspended on a length of string oscillating constantly. The pendulums mechanics were first discovered by Galileo he discovered that pendulum could keep time even when the oscillations dyed away. A simple pendulum is defined as a small heavy body suspended by a light Inextensible string. We can understand that if you change certain variables e.g. Length of string, weight on string, or the pull back angle of the string. These can vary the speed of a single swing of the pendulum. To get the time taken for the pendulum to swing (From one point back to the same point) It is more accurate to time 10 swings and then divide the time taken by 10 to get your answer. The formula for periodic time of a pendulum is T = 2 L/g L =
