State the aim of this experiment:
The aim of this experiment is to determine the acceleration due to gravity gg and the height HH of the ceiling of the laboratory using a simple pendulum.

Table I:
The column for "t (s) for 25 oscillations" is empty. Without this experimental data, it is not possible to complete the table by calculating T(s)T(s) and T2(s2)T^2(s^2).

Exercise:

(i) Plot a graph of h on the vertical axis against T² on the horizontal axis.

(ii) Determine the slopes of the graph and the intercept h0 on the vertical axis.

To complete these exercises, the experimental data for "t (s) for 25 oscillations" is required. Once that data is available, you would:

  1. Calculate T=t25T = \frac{t}{25} for each hh value.
  2. Calculate T2T^2 for each hh value.
  3. Plot hh (y-axis) against T² (x-axis).
  4. Draw a best-fit line through the plotted points.
  5. Calculate the slope (mm) of this line using two points on the line: m=ΔhΔT2m = \frac{\Delta h}{\Delta T^2}.
  6. Identify the y-intercept (h0h_0), which is the value of hh where the line crosses the y-axis (i.e., when T2=0T^2 = 0).
