Keep in mind that the common formula, below, for period of a pendulum is an approximation, and is within 1% for angles less than 20º. But at a 60º angle, for example, the error is 7%.
T ≈ 2π√(L/G)
T ≈ 2π√(L/G)

*Do not worry about 'proportional regression, but include a point (0,0) in your data when performing linear regression.
*You do NOT need to use quadratic regression, but I included an applet here. Quadratic regression can be done using the linear regression applet if you linearize the data first.
