Pendulum Lab

In Edgar Allan Poe’s story, “The Pit and the Pendulum,” Poe, uses the horror elements of ____Isolation_________, ______Madness______, and__Disorentiation_____ to add suspense to the story. In the beginning of the reading of The Pit and the Pendulum, the setting is at the Spanish Inquisition and Edgar Poe sees figures that look like angels, or judges. One of the important horror elements is Madness. The author Edgar Poe states “In other conditions of mind I might have had courage to end my misery at once by a plunge into one of these abysses; but now I was the veriest of cowards” (Poe 5). The quote is an example of the horror element because he wants to end his misery at once, he has been through so much that he just wants to end his life but

Throughout lab one we were introduced to many different forms of measurement, whether its using a ruler too measure length, a digital scale to measure weight, and also many different sized and shaped flasks to measure different volumes. Another key measurement of this lab was to teach the

Record the amplitude and corresponding period of vibration for one oscillation, followed by the sixth oscillation.

It helps to make sense of the numbers involved with this problem if you can visually equate them with something. I will also help me to have these numbers in a visual representation.

What does this curve tell you in terms of time and the number of cases?

Use a protractor to measure 30° from the equilibrium. Release the pendulum at this angle.

Another concept involved with music theory is time. How many beats per measure a note gets is dependent on the time signature. The basic time signature is four beats per measure. The measures of time are wholes (4 beats), halves (2 beats), quarters (1 beat), eights (a half) and sixteenths (a fourths). Rest, which are pauses in music, are also calculated in measures. Both rest and notes have symbols for each measure of time. The name of the note and rest, along with its number of beats is displayed on the figure to the right. (Slide 6)

it is nearly constant. As a result, an object in free fall accelerates downward at a constant rate.

The objective of this practical is to determine acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ using the simple pendulum model. This is shown when a period of oscillation is seen to be independent of the mass of the mass ‘m’.

Where, T1 is the predominant period of the ground motion. The latter corresponds to the period at which the relative velocity of relative velocity of a linear system with 5% damping maximum within the entire period ranges.

Assume the relationship between the vibrating period T and vibrating length L is in accord with the equation: T=kLn, where k and n are both constant values.

Its formula looks like this: T= L/R. Tau or lowercase t. Five time constants are required for current to reach 100% of its value. The time constant of t for the circuit in Figure 7.1 is 470 micro seconds.

Based on the Newton's 2nd Law \cite{book}, the motion of oscillations can be modeled by the following differential equation and its solution.
