2. The thread is adjusted so that its length, l = 20.0 cm.
Panjang bandul dilaraskan supaya panjangnya, l = 20.0 cm.
3. A gentle push is given to the pendulum bob to start swinging through a small angle (not
more than 100).

4. The time taken for 10 complete oscillations, t, is taken by using the stopwatch.
5. The period of the simple pendulum, T (i.e. the time taken for one complete oscillation) is
calculated by using:
Period: Time for 10 complete oscillations
10
6. Steps (2) to (5) are repeated for l = 30.0 cm, 40.0 cm, 50.0 cm and 60.0 cm.
