These data are from an undergraduate experiment to estimate the value of the gravitational constant, g (the acceleration of a free-falling body at the earth's surface). For each replicate of the experiment (row of data) a ball-bearing was released from a pre-determined height above the workbench and the time taken before the ball-bearing hit the workbench was recorded, as described in the lecture notes. The two columns correspond to: 1. time taken to fall (seconds) 2. vertical distance fallen (cm)
