Getting Started: Pendulum Lengths and
Periods
Getting Started is a fast-paced introduction. Read the chapter for details.
A group of students is attempting to determine the mathematical relationship
between the length of a pendulum and its period (one complete swing of a
pendulum). The group makes a simple pendulum from string and washers and
then suspends it from the ceiling. They record the pendulum’s period for each of
12 string lengths.*
