Acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ by Bar Pendulum
OBJECT: To determine the value of acceleration due to gravity and radius of gyration using bar
pendulum.
Apparatus used: Bar pendulum, stop watch and meter scale.
Formula:
A. The general formula of the time period for bar pendulum is given by following equation:

B. The time period is minimum when l=±k, in this situation the equation (1) becomes as:

where, k: radius of gyration, Tmin: minimum time period.
The value of ‘g’ can be calculated using equations (1) and (2).
The values of L, T, k and Tmin are obtained using graph between T and L for bar pendulum which
is shown in following figure.
From Figures (1) and (2),
(a) L1=AC+CD, L2=EC+CB and L=(L1+L2)/2, T=time at C
(b) k =(PQ+QR)/2 and Tmin= time at Q
C. The radius of gyration can be obtained with following formula

Where l1=(AC+CE)/2, l2=(BC+CD)/2
