Measure the inner and outer diameters of your washer.
How did you measure the diameter?
What is the best way to measure the diameter using the materials
provided?How accurately do you think the diameter could be measured using
these materials (e.g., to within what percent error do you think you could measure the diameter)?What is the maximum measurement you can get and what is the minimum for the
outer diameter of the washer?What is the percent difference between these measurements?
Construct a pendulum and indicate the measurements you used to determine its
length from the knot in the string to the center of the washer.Determine as accurately as possible how long it takes the pendulum to
complete a small swing. 'Small' means that the amplitude of the motion is not greater than .1 of the length of the pendulum.The period of the pendulum is the time required to swing from one extreme
position to the other and back.Keep the details of your measurements in your lab notebook but on initial
sheet report diameter, length and period.Every class come in with a good question or a statement that you know
everything. A good question consists of a statement of a situation or problem and a summary of what you do and do not understand about it.
