Measuring g with the pendulum - Practical Sheet

This resource is a four-pages pdf. file outlining the investigation for determining the gravitational field strength g on Earth by measuring the period of a pendulum for different values of the length of the pendulum. This document contains the aim of the investigation, the list of apparatus, an original labelled diagram of the experimental setup, an extremely detailed step-by-step method, a complete table of results, tasks on error propagation and calculation, as well as a graph and a data analysis sections (both with many questions for students to answer). This resource was designed for IB students, but can also be used with A Level students.
