A simple pendulum consists of a relatively massive object hung by a unelastic negligible mass string from a fixed support. It hangs vertically in its equilibrium position. When the object is displaced from equilibrum and then released, the pendulum begins vibration about its fixed equilibrum position, and finally stop because of damping or friction. A simple pendulum can be used to determine the <br /> <br /> <br /> acceleration of gravity. In this study, a simple pendulum experiment has been conducted to determine the value of the acceleration of gravity using gravity equations with affected by attenuation. The experiment was conducted by varying the length of the string. Average value of gravity acceleration obtained with string length 1 m, 1.1 m, 1.2 m, and 1.3 m is 0.0007 kg/s, 0.0006 kg/s, 0.0005 kg/s, and <br /> <br /> <br /> 0.0007 kg/s. Average value of acceleration of gravity is (9.8436 (symbol) 0.1406) m/s2, (9.8209 (symbol) 0.0095) m/s2, ( 9.8166 (symbol) 0.0592) m/s2, and (9.8566(symbol) 0.0592) m/s2. Respectively, In this study influence the length of string to the period also has been investigated.
