Don't worry about this problem. I don't count it if it comes up on the Major Quiz for a 121 student.

I can't seem to understand where to begin on this problem. I don't recall anything like this so far. Could you let me know where to find some help on this? Thanks Frances

For a certain pendulum, periods of T = .91, 1.291681, 1.58539 and 1.83345 seconds are observed for respective lengths L = 7, 14, 21 and 28 units.

Determine whether the transformation T -> T2 or T -> T3 linearizes the function better. Determine the equation of the resulting straight line, and solve the equation for T. Use your equation to determine the period of a pendulum whose length is 51.19815 units. Use your equation to determine the length of a pendulum whose period is 2.424873 seconds.
