The apparatus is designed to study the time period and frequency of compound pendulum. A pendulum consists of a cord which has mass at its one end and it is tied to a pivot point on the other end. The unit consists of a metallic rod on which metallic balls are fitted on different locations. The rod is pivoted at any desired point.
Experiments
