Part 3: Mass
1. Add a second equal mass to your pendulum.
2. With twice the mass, measure and record 10 cycles and the period of your pendulum.
3. From your data, how does mass affect the period of a pendulum?
Write a conclusion statement about what affects the period of a pendulum. This statement must be dependent on your data only,
not your predictions. Include what does not affect the period, as well.
Build Yourself a Pendulum! Lab (student handout continued)
Length of Pendulum Mass of Bob Amplitude Time for 10 cycles Period (Time for 1 cycle)
Long single mass small
Long double mass small
