Imagine you've constructed a pendulum at home and measured the length of the rope and the period. The goal here is to create a graph where the slope corresponds to the gravitational acceleration constant. For that you have to get an X and a Y. First, you have these 2 equations as a starting point:  T= 2π/ω      and      ω= sqrt(g/L). Play with the equations to construct an equation for a linear graph with the form: Y=mX+b where the slope m=g. Identify clearly what X and Y represent.

First, you have these 2 equations as a starting point: 

T= 2π/ω      and      ω= sqrt(g/L).

Play with the equations to construct an equation for a linear graph with the form: Y=mX+b where the slope m=g.

Identify clearly what X and Y represent. 

The equation should look like: ? = g(? + ?)
