Where G = 6.67 x 10-1 Int m2/kg.2, Me is the mass of the earth (6.02 x 1024kg), and Re is the average radius of the earth (6.4 x 106meters). A physical pendulum could be illustrated by swinging a meter stick about one end of a baseball bat about one end. The formula to calculate the period of a physical pendulum is T = 27T Where I is the pendulum's moment of inertia measured in kg m2, m is its mass in kilograms, g is the local gravitational field strength or acceleration due to gravity, and L is the moment arm or perpendicular distance from the pivot point to object's center of mass measured in meters. fixed support pivot point The frequency of a pendulum represents the number of vibrations per second. This quantity is measured in hertz (hz) and is the reciprocal of the pendulum's period. 1 Experiment #5: Period of a Pendulum Page 2 12
