This assignment is the first part of the formal lab for PHYS 250. The end product of this process will be a formal lab report describing your work. You will be graded on the quality of your experimental design, data analysis. and the writing in the report. Expectations for the report itself will be outlined separately. in this lab you will examine the motion of a simple pendulum- A simple pendulum is defined as a point particle that swings back and forth under the influence of gravity while tied to a string of negligible mass. In practical terms, no macroscopic mass is a point particle, so in effect we are referring to swinging object where the size is much less than the length of the string. {A swinging object that has non-negligible size in relation to the string length is referred to as a \"physical pendulum"]
