Question

Sources of error of a compound pendulum experiment

Answer 1

Answer:

The sources of errors in a simple pendulum experiment are the following: human errors comes in when measuring the period using a stopwatch. The reaction time of the observer plays a significant error when starting the stopwatch and when stopping it. ... instrument errors - using a digital stopwatch also introduce errors.

Answer 2

The total of the uncertainties in stopping and starting the watch is the time measurement inaccuracy.

Sources of error of a compound pendulum :

• The total of the uncertainties in stopping and starting the watch is the time measurement inaccuracy.

• For measurements of one swing or ten swings, the inaccuracy will be the same. In each scenario, half of the width will be roughly 0.1 second.

• The pendulum's bob should indeed be angled at a slight angle. A simple pendulum's oscillation should have a small amplitude.

• To lessen wind resistance, fans should be turned off. Only the vertical plane should be oscillated by the simple pendulum.
