2. 1 NeuLog EJ Experiment P 46 Simple Pendulum amp Objectives To learn about the period and frequency of a simple pendulum To understand the difference between a simple pendulum and a real life pendulum To examine the effects of length and mass on the pendulum s period Modules and Sensors PC NeuLog application USB 200 module NUL 226 Rotary motion logger sensor ES Equipment and Accessories Utility stand Right angle clamp Extension clamp 35 cm thread 10 g slotted mass N The items above are included in the NeuLog Mechanics kit MEC KIT Experiment P 46 Simple Pendulum Ver 3 0 1 2 NeuLog EJ Introduction A simple pendulum is a hypothetical apparatus consisting of a point mass hanged on a thread The thread s mass Is negligible and it is free to vibrate without friction The motion of the hanged mass is harmonic it swings back and forth at a constant amplitude This is true as long as the angle from the original position is small The amplitude of a real life pendulum swing declines over time because it is subjected to friction A pendulum s period is the time it takes to the hanged mass to swing back and forth The period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the thread and the gravitational acceleration g not on the mass of the pendulum A pendulum with a long thread has a greater period than one with a shorter thread The period and the frequency 1 period are

5. independent of the initial angular position for small swings The following equations describe the period T and the frequency f of a simple pendulum In this experiment we will measure the angular position over time of a swinging hanged mass connected to a rotary motion sensor through a thread Different lengths and different masses will be examined and the expected period will be compared with the measured period Experiment P 46 Simple Pendulum Ver 3 0 1 3 NeuLog EZ Procedure Experiment setup 1 Set up the experiment as shown in the picture below 2 Tie one end of the thread to the 10 g mass and the other end to the rotary motion sensor The length of the thread should be 25 cm including the part between the thread and the rotary sensor axis as in the picture below Experiment P 46 Simple Pendulum Ver 3 0 1 4 NeuLog EJ sensor setup 3 Connect the USB 200 module va to the PC 4 Check that the rotary motion logger sensor E3 is connected to the USB 200 module Note The following software functions are explained in short It is recommended to practice the NeuLog application functions as described in the user manual beforehand 5 Run the NeuLog application and check that the rotary motion sensor is identified Experiment P 46 Simple Pendulum Ver 3 0 1 5 NeuLog EJ settings 6 Click on the On line Experiment icon Gas in the NeuLog main icon bar 7 Click on the Sensor s
