pendulum: Pendulum data

Description

Period and pendulum length for a number of string and mass pendulums constructed by physics students. The same mass was used throughout, but the length of the string was varied from 10cm to 16 m.

Format

A data frame with 27 observations on the following 3 variables.

• length length of the pendulum (in meters)

• period average time of period (in seconds) over several swings of the pendulum

• delta.length an estimate of the accuracy of the length measurement

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(pendulum)
xyplot(period ~ length, data=pendulum)

# }
