Experimental setup of the simple pendulum with length L and mass m.
Experimental setup of the simple pendulum with length L and mass m.
A student performs an experiment at a high-altitude research station to determine the local acceleration due to gravity, \(g\). The student uses a simple pendulum, measuring the period \(T\) for several different lengths of string \(L\) and several different bob masses \(m\). To determine a value for \(g\), which of the following quantities should the student plot on the vertical and horizontal axes to produce a linear graph?
