• Resumen

  • Measuring gravitational acceleration with a simple pendulum is a traditional mechanical experiment. With the improvement of measurement accuracy (such as the use of a photogate timer) and the improvement of calculation ability (such as the use of a computer for data analysis), some previously ignored factors may arise. This paper studies the effect of angular amplitude on the result of this simple pendulum experiment.
