Simple Pendulum Apparatus

A Simple Pendulum consisting of a cord with a ring at the top end and a sliding pendulum mass.

The Simple Pendulum mass can be adjusted to any position along the pendulum cord length, quickly and easily. Set-up time is minimal for excellent results.

The Simple Pendulum oscillates on a knife-edge bracket attached to the wall at a convenient height.

A stopwatch and ruler are supplied to time the swing of the pendulum and to measure its length.

Experimental Capabilities of Simple Pendulum Apparatus

1. To determine the gravitational acceleration 'g'
2. To show that the periodic time of swing is proportional to the square root of the pendulum length
