Homework Statement
Ok worked out the time period of a physical pendulum (T) to be (in terms of constant a, and variable length x):
T^2 = 4pi (1/2a^2 + x^2)/(gx)
Now asked how i could use a measurement of T(x) to measure g.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I guess i have to vary x and measure T and plot some sort of graph, but given the relation above I can't see what the easiest way to determine g would be...
thanks
