The pit and the pendulum
For this project we took Edgar Allen Poe's short story the pit and the pendulum and decided to use the facts about he pendulum to try to calculate if the stories main character had time to escape from a descending pendulum. Over the next weeks we looked into calculating large amounts of data, organizing them into frequency bar graphs and finding the normal distribution as well as the standard deviation. As a final product we kept a portfolio of work that connected to the original pendulum prompt as well as our work with standard deviation.
