- Show your plot of angular displacement VS time with the paddle dampers in but minimally damping. Fit your data with Equation 4, but with TWO exponential terms. State the two exponential terms (i.e. ‘B’ in Equation 4). State the two Q values associated with the two exponential terms. Compare the larger Q value to the undamped case.
- Look at the residuals of the fit from the previous step. Is there evidence that the period is changing?
