           Plot T2 vs. 4?2L The period, T, of a pendulum is related to the pendulum's length, L and the constant acceleration of gravity, g, by the equationA student has measured the period of a pendulum for various lengths and wants to linearize the data to extract directly the acceleration of gravity as the slope of a straight line. To get this straight line, the student must ... Answer

Explanation / Answer

4(pi)^2L = gT^2

Let Y = 4(pi)^2L
X = T^2

Then
Y = gX

Plot Y vs X and the slope will be g.
