Variable Definitions edit
- length of pendulum
- gravity
- period of the pendulum
- uncertainty in the period
- uncertainty in the gravity
- uncertainty in the length
Uncertainty in the Measurement of g edit
The theory section shows that is found to be:
From this, the error can be found by:
This formulation is then used for calculations of the uncertainty and the accuracy necessary for keeping the error withing 1/10000. The error on the period is found from:
where:
