Step $8$: Let$$s find out how the time period depends on the gravity. Set the length of the pendulum equal to $1\mathrm{.}0$ m and mass of the bob equal to $0\mathrm{.}1$ kg$.$ Select $$Moon$$ from the drop$-$down menu under Gravity. Measure the time period for the pendulum on the Moon, using the method described above in Step $2.$ Record it below

TMoon $=$

What is the time period for the same pendulum on Earth from the data table on the previous page $($length $1\mathrm{.}0$ m$,$ mass $0\mathrm{.}1$ kg and gravity of Earth$)?$

TEarth $=$

Is the time period smaller or bigger on the moon compared to that on Earth?

Your answer:

What could be the reason that makes the time period on moon smaller $($or bigger$)?$

Your answer:

Step $9$: Let$$s find out how the time period depends on the mass of the bob. Set the length of the pendulum equal to $1\mathrm{.}0$ m and mass of the bob equal to $0\mathrm{.}5$ kg$.$ Measure the time period for the pendulum on the Moon. Repeat this step for masses of the bob equal to $1\mathrm{.}0$ kg and $1\mathrm{.}5$ kg respectively, keeping the length fixed at $1\mathrm{.}0$ m$.$ Record your data below.

T $($m $=0\mathrm{.}5$ kg$)=$

T $($m $=1\mathrm{.}0$ kg$)=$

T $($m $=1\mathrm{.}5$ kg$)=$

Does the time period increase or decrease when the mass increases?
