Period and Frequency of The Pendulum

Question

I. QUESTION

What does the period of a pendulum depend on? What does the period of a pendulum not depend on? Mass? Length? Amplitude?

What is the relationship between the period and Mass? Length? Amplitude?

II. THEORETICAL

Physics concepts used in this lab

1. Write paragraph describing concepts:
2. Period
3. Frequency
4. Amplitude
5. Show equations used for concepts
6. Number equations
7. List variables in each equation showing what each means and units used.
8. Note: Number each equation, use “insert equation” in Google Docs for equations. You can also use Insert/Special Characters/Symbol/Math and Format/Subscript or Superscript. 

Answer 1

The formula for period T is

T = 2π√(L/g),

where

L is the length, and

g is gravitational acceleration.

This is actually only an approximation, valid for small angles of displacement.

But I believe, this is the relationship you are expected to use.
