2. To find relationship between period and mass for inertial pendulum.
3. Theory: Model relationship as T:A(m+Mtray)^n
If we are able to find the relationship between time and period, then we are able to determine mass by calculating its oscillation.
4. Procedure: Metal tray, clamped to table, tape to the end, pass through photogate measure period. Add 0g to 800g to tray(100 at a time), measure period each time.

7. We measured the period of oscillation for calculator and phone, it came out to be 0.833s for calculator and 0.4206s for phone. And I plotted the number into the equation above, it came out near to it actual weight, which is 221g and 167g.
8. We were able to determine object's weight based its period of oscillation. Even though the number does not came out to be exact mass, due to human error or machine delay.
