year is 1669. You have just been hired as an apprentice by the famous clockmaker William Clement. Your first task is to provide Mr. Clement with data that will be used in the development of a tall grandfather clock. The clock design calls for a pendulum to both precisely and accurately keep time. You need to study the variables that affect the period of a pendulum. Design an experiment to test how the 1) mass of the bob, 2) length of the tension rod, and 3) angle of displacement affect the period of a pendulum. Your experimental design and the format of your outline should convey a clear understanding of the scientific method (please use the steps as part of your outline). Make sure to include a sketch of the experimental apparatus with all variables to be tested clearly labeled.
