Pendulum Standard Deviation
For this part of the Pit and Pendulum project we learned about finding standard deviation. To learn about finding standard deviation we recorded the time it takes for pendulums 1-8 feet to swing back and forth. After we recorded the data, we had to find out the standard deviation and create graphs to find them. The point of this data was to find out how long it would take a 30 foot pendulum to build up speed, and my group was within 2% of the actual time it took. Overall, I am super proud of the content I learned it this part of the project.
