I need some help for the verification of an assignment about pendulums

AI Thread Summary
Django is seeking assistance for a physics assignment on pendulums, specifically to verify his results with someone from a different country with varying gravitational force. He requests help in building a DIY pendulum using inexpensive materials and filming the process while making a sling. Django also asks for the period and length of the pendulum to be calculated using the formula provided, incorporating local gravitational acceleration. He emphasizes the need for the video to mention that it is made for him and his classmate Rens to avoid issues of plagiarism. The discussion highlights the importance of collaboration in educational assignments.

Hello, my name is Django and I live in the Netherlands. I've got an assignment for physics about pendulums and part of this assignment is that I need to verify my result with someone else in a country with a different gravitational force (the gravitational force were I live is 9.813 N/m2). I wanted ask you whether you'd want to help me with this.
If you want to help you should build a DIY pendulum (with some cheap and easy to find materials) and film it while you make a sling.

After this I need you to fill in this formula:

T = the period in seconds (for the swing)
l = the length of the pendulum in meters (as you can see in the picture)
g = the acceleration due to gravity in m/s2

If you would help me with this I'd be very thankful!
Cheers,
Django van der Plas

PS.
Would you please say in the video that you make it for me and Rens, so I can prove that I haven't copied it from somewhere? Thanks!

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Do you attend the same school as this student? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/calculating-gravity.947845/

Yes, thank you, I couldn't find the thread! But nevertheless, I still need someone to help me as well, since I don't think our teacher will accept the exact same results :wink:
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
