The graph shows a variation of the square of the time period (T2) with the length (l) of a pendulum. Which of the following formula can be used to determine its slope?
The graph shows that T2 is directly proportional to l. The slope of the line can be obtained by taking two points P and Q on the straight line. The value of T2 say T21 and T22 at a and b respectively, and also the value of l say l1 and I2 respectively at c and d.
Then, slope abcd=T21−T22l1−l2
