Natural philosophy
Wondered what is natural philosophy? It's the former term of physics. Today's experiment was investigating the oscillation of a compound pendulum. Argh, it's been four weeks since we have been carrying out this pendulum experiment. I will not complain more as even though the experiment is repetitive, it takes only one hour to complete! Which means one hour free time! We can have a proper lunch. Wohoo!!

Since my camera does not produce pictures with focusing effect as of a DSLR would, I've resorted to using photoshop for this time. Hopefully I would not need to use photoshop anymore in the near future. *Hints* Today's pendulum was contrusted using two wooden blocks, a pin, 13g of plasticine and a metal wire. Use your imagination and figure out how the pendulum will look like =). Instead of having 20 oscillations, I measured the time for only 10 oscillations this time to save time and hasten the experiment. Soon after, I acquired all data needed to draw the graph.
Giju focused
In the end, we spent only one hour as mentioned earlier. With me completing the experiment first, followed by Ivan and then Giju. We did not leave the laboratory immediately. We fooled around for a short time before leaving in search for a place to have lunch.
Forestboy is going down
In search for lunch, we took a stroll towards INTI's library. We stopped by a chinese cafe and it seemed packed. However, there was a second floor. Who in the right mind would have known that there was a second floor? Yea, practically no one. We went up there and it was empty. The only customers were us. We had the whole floor to ourselves. Cheers. =)
There goes RM 3.30
