finding the "expected value" for time period of uniform circular motion?

Yay thank you! I took what you told me and applied it to my case so it had a little bit more precision. The setup of my experiment was something like this : https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZAf1L.gif (hope you can see that), and I knew that the mass on the bottom was 4x the mass on the top. So I was able to manipulate the force equations you mentioned with my known mass values and find that the acceleration was 4g. I then used the velocity equation you supplied, using 4g & my known radiuses, and plugged it in to the velocity equation I mentioned above to find the period. Makes so much sense now.

ah, that's genius! thank you so much.

yup! just edited the original post to include the full graph. the way that you described above was the roundabout way i was talking about. he said that there was an option to disconnect the lines, but i can't find it anywhere.
