Simple Pendulum Lab

A bob on a massless string released from rest at angle θ0. The motion is integrated with the full sin θ equation, so you can see where the small-angle period formula stops working. Angle is positive to the right.

t = 0.000 s

θ — angle vs t

ω — angular velocity vs t

KE PE Total — energy vs t

Data table

Try: record T for several lengths, then plot T2 vs L. Press D to record.
