 EXPERIMENT TWO
SIMPLE SWING

1. PURPOSE
Determine the acceleration of gravity (g) with a mathematical pendulum.

2. TOOLS AND MATERIALS

• Hammock mathematical consisting of wool yarn, which berkontrol solid iron
and bottle

caps.
• Buffer static.
• Stop Watch.
• Ruler 100 cm.
• Arc.

3. PRINCIPLES THEORY

Pendulum is an object attached to a rope and can swing freely and

periodically the basis of work from an old wall clock that has a swing. In the field
of physics, this principle was first discovered in 1602 by Galileo Galilei, the
period (the old one swing of the oscillating motion, T) is influenced by the length
of the rope and the acceleration of gravity.
oscillatory motion (vibration) is a popular movement of the oscillating pendulum
(pendulum). Simple pendulum consists of a rope light and a small ball (ball
pendulum) of mass m is suspended from the end of the rope, we ignore air
friction and the mass is very small strap so it can be ignored relative to the ball.
With bandulpun we can useful to keep in place the pendulum gravity

is tested.

Simple pendulum is a small object, usually a ball of solid objects, hung

on a rope whose mass is negligible compared with the long ball and pendulum
mass is very large. Compared with the radius of the ball. The other end of the
rope is hung on a hanger which still, if the pendulum was given a small
deviation. and then released, the pendulum will oscillate (vibrate) between two
points, for example, points A and B, with T a fixed period. As has been studied in
experiments on, vibration, a vibration (1 oscillation) is defined as the ball
movement from A to B and back to A, or from B to A and back to B,
There are several parameters (or variables) on the pendulum, the period (T),
mass of pendulum (m), and Deviation Angle (O) length (P).

A small, heavy objects hanging on the end of a rope was long and light
(weight yarn ignored) and not elastic. The whole composition range
(because of gravity), with a small angle. This is called a mathematical
pendulum, with a period:

T = 2π √I/g

Where :

T = Period (the swing)

I = length of yarn

g = acceleration of gravity
4. EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE
1. Replacing the pendulum with leverage.
2. Measuring the length of rope hanging from the center of the ball point
approximately ±

90 cm.
3. Deviation of the ball approximately 15 to 20 and then released.
4. Recording time for the 14 swing by pressing the stop Watch at the time of
the pendulum

removed and made up to 3x.

5. Repeating the procedure 4 for the long rope 80, 70, and 60.
6. Create a data table of the results obtained.

5. DATA OBSERVATIONS

The length the rope swing 14 Time (seconds) Average price

80 T1 = 22,3 T2 = 22,5 T3 = 22 T = 22,26

70 T1 = 20,9 T2 = 21 T3 = 20,1 T = 20,66

60 T1 = 19 T2 = 19 T3 = 18,7 T = 18,9
6. ANSWERS TO TASK

6.1 . The acceleration of gravity for all the different length of

rope:

a. Length 80 cm rope

T mean= 22,26

T=

22,26 = 2 . 3,14 .

g = 6,37 m/s2

b. Length 70 cm rope

T mean = 20,60

T=

20,60 = 2 . 3,14 .

g = 6,50 m/s2

c. Length 80 cm rope

T mean = 18,90

T=

18,90 = 2 . 3,14 .

g = 6,59 m/s2
 average g = = 6,49 m/s2

6.2. Comparison of the acceleration of gravity obtained in the

literature:

Comparison of gravity obtained from the lab "Simple Swing" with the
gravity in different literature. That on dasarnyagravitasi is the force
that caused the earth and can be calculated in various ways such as by
a simple pendulum swing. In a simple pendulum swing the pendulum
mass is not taken into account, which accounted for only quadratic
period (T2) and the length of rope (P).

6.3. Conclusion:

• That is essentially gravity is the force that caused the earth and
can be calculated
in various ways such as by a simple pendulum swing.

• In a simple pendulum swing the pendulum mass is not taken into

account, which
accounted for only quadratic period (T2) and the length of rope
(Ρ ).

• The longer the string pendulum the slower the time required to
perform 14 times
the swing, this is because the position of the pendulum closer to
the center of the
earth.
