What Is the Cotton Thread Used For?

In the simple pendulum experiment a length of thread is tied to the hook of a metal bob and clamped through a split cork, and students time the oscillations for different lengths. Cotton thread is also used to hang masses from spring balances, to pass over bench pulleys, and to tie light objects for centre-of-gravity and moment experiments.

Cut a fresh length for each set-up and check it for fraying, because a worn thread can snap and drop the bob. Measure pendulum length from the point of suspension to the centre of the bob, and tie firm knots that do not slip. White thread shows up clearly against dark stands and backgrounds, which makes length marks easy to read.
