Compound Pendulum- Symmetric

Aim of the experiment

To determine:

  • The acceleration due to gravity (g) using a compound pendulum.
  • The radius of gyration (kG) of the compound pendulum about an axis perpendicular to the plane of oscillation and passing through its centre of mass.
  • The moment of inertia (IG) of the compound pendulum about an axis perpendicular to the plane of oscillation and passing through its centre of mass.
