    The document provides instructions for performing experiments using a simple pendulum to calculate the acceleration due to gravity (g). Students are directed to take measurements of a pendulum's time period over multiple oscillations, record the pendulum length, and use the measured values to plot l-T2 graphs from which g can be calculated and verified against known values. Procedures are outlined for taking measurements, recording observations in a table, and taking precautions to ensure small amplitudes and oscillations in a single plane.
