PHYSICS FIASCO

today was my first appearance at the physics lab after 10th std...and i ended up with simple pendulum...i have to congratulate the guy who came up with that name and then beat his brains out.....considering i found nothing simple about the whole thing....
once the stage was set, we all started swinging the little bobs around...back and forth...back and forth...back and forth...hypnosis to say the least...
taking all the readings was easy enough...getting them approved was an altogether different matter...
vishwanath and i proceeded to show that aparna female in vain our horrible incorrect readings for 100cms...namely 41 and 41.5
she accepted it...but chitra didnt..so we did it again....and again.....and again....and again...i swear if i see that pendulum again i'll break the stupid cork and snap the thread, proceeding which, i'll melt the bob and then feed to demons of the underworld...
anyway, i came up at last with a satisfactory 40 sec followed by 39.5
the smart one next to me wrote 40,40 (i shud have written 40 again instead of 39.5 too:( )
so...that left us to be taught log and antilog by that aparna lady, whose words i still find rather unclear...
thus, we left the lab dispiritedly but chuckling at our little misadventures...
so that leaves me with the calculation of logs n anitlogs...wonder if there are anti-blogs....hmmm
:P
anyway i gotta go now and ponder the deepest meaning of life...
