“…The plot of the square of the period against length, together with the best fit line, is shown in figure 5. Linear regression and error propagation [9] finally yields the acceleration due to gravity to be 9.82 ± 0.10 m s −2 which appears to compare well with our local [10] theoretical value of 9.78 m s −2 . The percentage error is 0.40%.…”

“…Shown in figure 3 is a plot of the square of the period against suspended mass and a best fit line (in color red) yields a slope of 1.48 s 2 kg −1 . Therefore, by using equation ( 4), linear regression analysis, and error propagation for division [8] we found the value of the spring constant used, k, to be…”
