A Simple Pendulum for standard 12 physics

A SIMPLE PENDULUM

AIM :-
To determine the value of g with the help of a simple pendulum.

PRECAUTIONS:
Understand clearly the functioning of the stop-clock.
The bob of the pendulum should not be given angular displacement more than 40.
The oscillations of the pendulum should be in one vertical plane only.
During oscillations the bob should not spin.
See that the bob does not collide with the table while oscillating.
The experiment should be performed at such a place where air current is slow. (Do not do the experiment near the window or a moving fan.)

APPARATUS : - A stand with a clamp,
                             a metallic bob,
                             a light string,
                             a meter rule,
                             a rubber cork with two pieces,
                             a vernier calliper
                             a stop-clock
