This is for the October - November 2010 p52 question, 2(a):

If you mean the first part where you have to find out the gradient of the line of lgT on the y - axis and lgL on the x - axis, the gradient is b because taking log on both sides, we get

lgT = lgA + b * lgL

If lgT = y and lgL = x, then we have

y = lgA + bx

So gradient is equal to b.

Good Luck for all your exams!
Thankyoouu soo much!!

How to calculate value of T in the table?

The question statement (Page 5) mentions that:

"The time t for 10 oscillations is recorded for a pendulum of length l. The period T of the pendulum is determined. The procedure is then repeated for different lengths."

Therefore, if the time for 10 oscillations is t, the time period of the pendulum, which is T, should be t/10.

So the values of T in the table should be 1.89, 1.79, 1.67, etc.
Sorry if i've misunderstood - were you referring to the uncertainties in the values or just the values of T themselves?

Good Luck for all your exams!
