{\Large Determination of Gravitational Acceleration via a Simple Pendulum} \\
Physics 101 Laboratory Report \\
\today
\end{center}

\section{Objective}
To determine the local acceleration due to gravity, $g$, by measuring the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum at several lengths.

\section{Theory}
For small oscillation angles, a simple pendulum of length $L$ has period
\[
T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}.
\]
Rearranging gives $g = 4\pi^2 L / T^2$, so a plot of $T^2$ against $L$ should be linear with slope $4\pi^2 / g$.

\section{Procedure}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Attach a small mass to a string of measured length $L$.
  \item Displace the pendulum by a small angle ($< 10^\circ$) and release from rest.
  \item Time 20 complete oscillations using a stopwatch; divide to obtain the period $T$.
  \item Repeat for five string lengths between 0.20 m and 1.00 m.
\end{enumerate}

\section{Data}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
\hline
$L$ (m) & $T$ (s) & $T^2$ (s$^2$) & $g$ (m/s$^2$) \\
\hline
0.20 & 0.90 & 0.81 & 9.75 \\
0.40 & 1.27 & 1.61 & 9.80 \\
0.60 & 1.55 & 2.40 & 9.86 \\
0.80 & 1.80 & 3.24 & 9.74 \\
1.00 & 2.01 & 4.04 & 9.78 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\section{Analysis}
The mean measured value is $\bar{g} = 9.79$ m/s$^2$, compared with the accepted value $g_0 = 9.81$ m/s$^2$. The percent error is
\[
\left| \frac{\bar{g} - g_0}{g_0} \right| \times 100\% = \left| \frac{9.79 - 9.81}{9.81} \right| \times 100\% \approx 0.2\%.
\]
The small discrepancy is consistent with reaction-time error in manual timing and minor air resistance, both of which would systematically lengthen the measured period.

\section{Conclusion}
The simple pendulum method yields $g = 9.79 \pm 0.05$ m/s$^2$, in close agreement with the accepted value, confirming the small-angle approximation and the linear relationship between $T^2$ and $L$.

What converts

Headings (Heading 1–4 styles) become \section, \subsection, and so on.
Bold, italic, and underline; bulleted and numbered lists, including nested ones.
Tables become tabular; links become \href (with hyperref loaded for you).
The file name becomes the title.

What doesn't

Equations made with the Word equation editor are not converted; retype them in LaTeX (the symbols cheat sheet helps).
Images are replaced by a placeholder; add them back in the editor's Figures panel.
Fonts, colors, page layout, footnotes, and comments are dropped. LaTeX sets the layout.
Old .doc files need to be saved as .docx first.

Questions

Is my Word file uploaded?

No. The .docx is read and converted inside this browser tab, then compiled with pdfTeX on your device.

Will the LaTeX look exactly like my Word document?

No, and that is usually the point: the text and structure carry over, and LaTeX takes care of the typesetting. Fonts, spacing, and page layout come from the LaTeX document class.

Can I convert LaTeX back to Word?

Not directly here. You can export Markdown or HTML from the editor and open that in Word, or download the PDF.
