Abstract

This essay studies resonance in a simple harmonic motion with a pendulum, in order to answer the question: “How does the relation between the line lengths of pendulums affect resonance?” This experiment attempts to answer this question in two different measurements: First comparing the time it takes for the resonant to get in resonance with the resonator in different line lengths of pendulums; secondly comparing the amplitude of those pendulums when they get into a resonance. A fishing line, a weight (20g), small spheres made by paper, and a strong LED light is used in this experiment. The weights are attached to a long fishing line and they are pulled and released from a point in order for the weight to do a simple harmonic motion. Then the motion of the paper spheres -which are attached to the same fishing line- is observed in order to get data of their amplitude and time to get in resonance. The line length of the pendulums made by paper spheres differ, so the intended question of “relation between line lengths” can be answered. Line lengths similar to the actual line length of the weight are expected to resonate more and have a greater amplitude. Overall, this experiment has shown that, as the value (|
