A student carries out an experiment to find out the relationshp between the period for one oscillation of a simple
and the height of the pendulum bob above the bench, h.
arrangement of the apparatus is shown in Diagram 1.

is provided to
judge if the pendulum bob passes through the centre of the oscillation.
height, h of the centre of the pendulum bob is adjusted to be 30.0 cm above the bench surface. lt is then
and allowed to oscillate. The time for 20 oscillations, f,, is taken using a stopwatch. The simple pendulum is
to oscillate again to obtain the time for 20 oscillations, f2, for the second time. The actual readings of f, and f, are
in Diagram 2.

The experiment is repeated by changing the vertical height of the centre of the pendulum bob to 40.0 cm, 50.0 cm,
60.0 cm and 70.0 cm. The corresponding readings of the stopwatch are shown in Diagrams 3, 4,5 and 6 respectively.
