Pendulum - Different Length, Same Mass

2 pendula of identical mass but differing length

Concept Overview:

1. Length affects a pendulum's period of oscillation

Lecturer Procedure

Step(s) to Follow Expected Result

1. Pull each pendulum back to the same angle of displacement

2. Release

Since the one pendulum is 4x longer than the other, the longer pendulum will have a period of oscillation that is 2x greater than the short one.
