439. assignment (value of g, experiment)
Last year, I did an experiment to get a value for , the acceleration due to gravity.
The idea was to time a ball bearing rolling down an inclined plane. You can then calculate the acceleration for an incline at this angle, and hence get a value for .
A schematic of the ramp is shown:
My timings were as follows:
Distance
