Pendula With 4 To 1 Length Ratio
Purpose
To show that the period of a pendulum is proportional to the square root of its length.
Equipment
Pre-assembled 4:1 length pendula.
Images
Description
The two pendula are started in phase. The shorter pendulum undergoes two complete oscillations for each oscillation of the longer pendulum.◙
