Experiment:
Variable g Pendulum
Objective: Measure the period of an oscillating pendulum as a function of the effective component of the gravitational acceleration
The period of a pendulum is lengthened by tilting its axis away from the horizontal, since the effective component of the gravitational acceleration is reduced.
