Pendulum Lab

We spent a precious period seeing that pendulum motion has an acceleration proportional to the displacement from equilibrium, so the motion should be harmonic.,and for a pendulum omega squared =g/L or omega =. Your lab was supposed to demonstrate that T ( which you measured) should equal 2 pi/sqrt(g/L) , your expected value of T based on our hypothesis about omega = restoring acceleration/displacement.
