Pendulum data

Period and pendulum length for a number of string and mass pendulums constructed by physics students. The same mass was used throughout, but the length of the string was varied from 10cm to 16 m.

Format

A data frame with 27 observations on the following 3 variables.

length

length of the pendulum (in meters)

period

average time of period (in seconds) over several swings of the pendulum

delta.length

an estimate of the accuracy of the length measurement

Source

Calvin College physics students under the direction of Professor Steve Plath.
