(i) Tabulate the results of l, t and t^2. 8 mk
(i) Tabulate the results of l, t and $t^2$. 8 mk
(iv) The graph of I against t° is related by the equation t = where x is the distance from the centre of the mass of the pendulum bob to the point at which it is tied to the cotton thread and n is the number of oscillations. Using this equation and the slope obtained in 1(iii), estimate the acceleration due to gravity, g (cm/s). 0 mk
(iv) The graph of $I$ against $t^{\circ}$ is related by the equation $t = \frac{l}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$. Use this equation and the slope obtained in 1(iii), estimate the acceleration due to gravity, $g$ (cm/s). 0 mk
(v) From your graph, determine the $l$-intercept in cm. 0 mk
(v) From your graph, determine the l-intercept in cm. 0 mk
