The notes for the physics lab on the simple pendulum focus on studying the motion of a pendulum and verifying the relationship between its period, length, and gravitational acceleration. Key concepts include periodic motion, the dependence of the period on the length of the pendulum, and the independence of the period from mass and amplitude (for small angles). The lab involves measuring the pendulum’s period for varying lengths and using the data to calculate the acceleration due to gravity.
