## About The Project

### Introduction

Within this experiment, we will prove if a materials physical property has any change on its period of oscillation, it will be found that in small changes of its specific physical property, no change is seen in terms of its period of oscillation. Only in larger value differences will the period of oscillation see significant change. 

This is quite a short scripted experiment, the purpose is to find the relationship between the period of a mechanical oscillator via physical properties e.g. mass, volume, area, thickness, density and side length. This will be done first empirically and then theoretically, when completed the moment of inertia of a rectangular parallelepiped about axis through centre perpendicular to its face, this will be then used to calculate the acceleration due to gravity.

Plotting the natural log of each physical property and its individual period of oscillation shows that their is not a clear relationship between these physical properties and the period of oscillation. By analyzing the graphs and tables, it shows little change when each physical property was larger or smaller, the period of oscillation remained the same with a small tolerance. The only physical property that changed the period of oscillation was Area, where even the second highest area produced a lower period whether this abnormality was due to human error or is practically proven is unclear but reviewing the results, human error seem to play a huge part within this experiment.  

In terms of the whole experiment, it was carried out in a fair standard. Within the mathematical side of the experiment, all measurements had fixed errors and no human error was at play but the physical measurement of the oscillation of each square was purely down to human error, where it was not truly fair and thus being inaccurate, there was delays in counting the oscillations by eye and starting/ stopping the stopwatch. All in all this experiment proved that physical properties do not have much effect in their periods of oscillation, only if the difference in each plates physical property was at a larger value may it be found that physical property changes the period of oscillation.
