In this video I calculate a value for g, the acceleration due to gravity, by treating my hair as a simple pendulum. Uncertainty analysis was done following the method outlined here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVyjjcRmIwQ
Thanks (and happy birthday) to my brother Jack for his appearance in this video.
At 3:00 the uncertainty in the period is 50ms. And the unit for L should be m.
