Best way to determine the accurate/precise time for one oscillation of a pendulum???
By timing N Oscillations, and dividing the answer by N. (Where 5<N<40)
Also, we can repeat the READINGS, and calculate the average, to get even a more accurate answer.
We can use a fiducial marker, or time the oscillations from the center.
And look at an angle that allows us to see the entire motion of the pendulum, by looking perpendicularly to the direction of motion.
