    Time Taken For 10 Oscillation: 1A10 4 June 2010

    Uploaded by

    Nor Aishah
    This document describes an experiment to study the relationship between the length of a pendulum and the time taken for it to complete 10 oscillations. The hypothesis is that as the length of the pendulum string increases, the time taken for oscillation will also increase. Various pendulum lengths from 10cm to 50cm were tested, and the results showed that longer pendulums did take more time to complete 10 oscillations, supporting the hypothesis.

    Time Taken For

    10 Oscillation

    NOR AISHAH BT NORRIFIN


    1A10
    4 June 2010
    Aim
    To study the relationship between the
    length of the pendulum and the time
    taken for the simple pendulum to
    oscillate
    Statement of the Problem
    How is the oscillation time of the
    pendulum influenced by the length of the
    pendulum.
    Hypothesis
    As the length of the string increases, the
    time taken for the pendulum oscillation
    becomes longer.
    Materials and Apparatus
     Pendulum
     String
     Retort stand
     Retort clamp
     Stop watch
    Variable
     what you measured - time taken for 10
    oscillation
     Measurements – length of change
    pendulum
     Kept constant – mass of
    pendulum bob
    Procedure
    a) Hang 10 cm long pendulum onto the clamp of a
    retort stand.
    b) Pull the pendulum bob to one side, then release.
    Record the time taken for 10 oscillation in the
    table. Repeat this step three times.
    c) Repeat the experiment for pendulum lengths of 20
    cm, 30cm, 40,cm and 50cm.
    Recording Of Data
    Pendulum Time for 10 pendulum oscillations (s)
    length (cm) Experiment Experiment 2 Experiment Average
    1 3
    10 6.0 5.8 6.2 6.0
    20 9.6 9.8 9.7 9.7
    30 13.1 13.0 13.1 13.0
    40 16.2 16.4 16.0 16.2
    50 18.5 18.6 18.2 18.4
    Conclusion
    As the length of the pendulum increases,
    the time of the pendulum oscillation
    increases. The hypothesis form can
    be accepted.
    Discussion
    1. The recording of the results is carried out three
    times in order to get a more exact and accurate
    average reading.
    2. In using a simple pendulum, we must bear in mind
    a few points if the results is to be accurate.
    - the support must be rigid so that it does not
    shake when the pendulum is oscillating.
    - the point of support should the string firmly.
    - the timing should be repeated a few times and
    the average time taken.
    - the swing must be in vertical plane and not in
    an ellipse. The angle of oscillation must also
    be small.
