In conclusion, the experiment aimed to determine the acceleration due to gravity by measuring the period of a simple pendulum. The experiment was performed by measuring the length of the pendulum and recording the time for 10 oscillations. The data was then used to calculate the average period and subsequently, the acceleration due to gravity using the formula: g = (4π²L)/T².
Based on the results obtained, the acceleration due to gravity was found to be (9.79 ± 0.06) m/s², which is in good agreement with the accepted value of 9.81 m/s². The small discrepancy could be due to the experimental errors such as air resistance, friction and measurement errors.
Overall, the experiment was successful in determining the acceleration due to gravity using a simple pendulum and demonstrated the relationship between the period and the length of the pendulum.
