Pendulum Period vs Length

Dimensional Analysis · unit01-physics-and-measurement

See how the time period of a simple pendulum scales as sqrt(L/g), as predicted by dimensional analysis.

Controls

g (m/s^2)9.80 m/s^2

length L1.00 m

pi1.00

Live values

T = 2\pi\sqrt{L/g}

Try this: Doubling g shrinks the period by sqrt(2).
