Lab 9: Angular Velocity

The purpose of this lab is to find the relationship between the angle at which the string spins at the speed at which it rotates around.


We checked at eight intervals for it to take ten revolutions and below is the result.
We then used excel to create a graph for the lab using the table below. 

This is a graph of omega vs theta. Our slope was .9877 when it was expected to be 1

After the eight intervals, we were able to solve for the equation that relates the angle and the speed. 
omega = (g*tan(theta)/d+l*sin(theta) )^(1/2)

Our experiment was a success as there was approximately a 1.3% error.
