Simple-Pendulum Lab

Student: "My question is about the third table from the simple-pendulum lab; Do we plot L versus T from the experimental data?"

Answer: For the 3-rd table the graph have to be L versus ( T/(2 pi) )² and you have to check a slope  of the fitting line.  And the slope of the fitting line have to be close to the gravity acceleration 9.8 m/s².
