    oscillations also times them themselves. Objectives 1. To conduct a lab experiment for the oscillations of a pendulum with a yielding support 2. investigate the simple pendulum 3. To prove that the distance (m) is directly proportional to period. Theory Theory states that T and d are related by the equation: T2 = kd3+ (4π2 l)/g where g is the acceleration of free fall and k is a constant.

    vectors. The Kullback-Leibler divergence [3] proposed a non-symmetric measure of the difference between the probability distributions associated with the two vectors. Euclidean distance [5] is a recognized similarity metric taken from the Euclidean geometry field. Manhattan distance [11], is very similar to Euclidean distance and also recognized as the taxicab metric, is another

    Interestingly, as the density is increased to 0.65 mm, the flow seems to get faster as compared to the medium and low density. This odd result can be explained by looking at the flow the oil progressing inside the channel. A greater density would mean lesser distance in between the successive dots. This would result in an increased oleophilic clinging action of oleic acid and more importantly as the dots come closer, the channel seems to divide itself in three smaller channels and thereby reducing the tortuous
