The following measurements are obtained by measuring the time in seconds
for one oscillation of a simple pendulum:
1.581 1.575 1.541 1.523 1.554 1.544 1.534
1.595 1.551 1.500 1.569 1.546 1.539 1.579
1.556 1.566 1.548 1.529 1.518 1.586 1.511
1.531 1.511 1.589 1.521 1.555 1.568 1.559
1.553 1.563 1.538 1.561 1.565 1.542 1.533
1.578 1.543 1.552 1.512 1.536 1.525 1.549
(a) Determine the frequency with which each value occurred and tabulate the
data accordingly.
(b) Plot a histogram of the measurements.
(c) Calculate the mean value of the period and the standard deviation from the
mean.
(d) If the length of the pendulum is 60.0 cm, use the mean value of the period
to calculate the gravitational acceleration g.
