Value of g by simple pendulum?
You can build a simple pendulum - one that has most of its mass concentrated in a small place, at the end of the pendulum. Measure the pendulum's length, and measure how long it takes to go back and forth. Use the formula for the period of a pendulum, solving for "g".
Discussion of the measurement of gravity by a bar pendulum?
You can use a simple pendulum, measure how long one period takes, then use the formula for a pendulum, and solve for gravitational acceleration.
How do you measure the frequency of the periodic motion of a pendulum?
you usea themomiter to check.
What is meant by a period of a pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is a measure of the amount of time it takes to complete one full cycle and return to its starting position.
How can pendulum be used to determine local gravitational acceleration?
Measure the length and the period

What does grandfather clock uses to measure time?
The Pendulum.

You could use a stopwatch.

How do you measure time period of a pendulum if its length changes?
t = 2*pi*sqrt(L/g) where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the force of gravity.
Relationship between period of pendulum and length?
The longer a pendulum is, the more time it takes a pendulum takes to complete a period of time. If a clock is regulated by a pendulum and it runs fast, you can make it run slower by making the pendulum longer. Likewise, if the clock runs slow, you can make your clock run faster by making the pendulum shorter. (What a pendulum actually does is measure the ratio between time and gravity at a particular location, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.)
How a day is measured?
Take a pendulum that is 10 meters off of the ground. As the Earth rotates, the pendulum will also rotate. Measure the time it takes for the pendulum to return to the exact spot. It equals 23 h 56 m 4 s.
Why degree of amplitude of simple pendulum should not exceed 5?
wind resistance cannot be ignored in considering a simple pendulum. The wind resistance will be proportional to a higher power of the velocity of the pendulum. A small arc of the pendulum will lessen this effect. You could demonstrate this effect for yourself. A piece of paper attached to the pendulum will add to the wind resistance, and you can measure the period both with and without the paper.
How do you investigate the effect on period of a pendulum if length is altered?
You measure the period of the pendulum for different lengths. Plot the results on a scatter plot and see if you can work out the nature of the relationship between the two variables.
