CAPE Physics Unit 1 · 2003 · Paper 2 · Question 2(a)

An oscillating system's period, T, is related to its suspension length, l, by the equation T = al^n, where a and n are constants. Table 1 provides time periods for different lengths.

Plot a suitable graph using the axes on page 7 to allow you to determine the values of a and n.
