==== Method: ====
  −
  −
Use the PhET simulation Pendulum Lab.
  −
  −
  −
For this we will need to open an application called PhET on the
  −
computer. You can find PhET under Applications> Education>
  −
Science. PhET is an educational resource that contains computer
  −
demonstrations of experiments and activities. When we click on Play
  −
with sims – it will open simulations in various subjects. We will
  −
click on Physics and scroll down to the simulation on Pendulum Lab.
  −
  −
  −
When we want to open a simulation, we click on the green
  −
rectangle which says “Run Now”.
  −
  −
  −
After running the simulation show the following video
