A pendulum with a length of 1 meter has a period of about 2 seconds (so it takes about 1 second to swing across an arc). This means that there is a relationship between the gravitational field ( g ...

Further, I said that the period of a pendulum with a length of 1 meter is 2 seconds. This would mean that pi squared would be g (the gravitational field in N/kg) - which it is.

Applying the equation he had derived for the torsional pendulum, Schlamminger found he could predict the strength and timing of the changes in velocity crane operators need to apply to the trolley ...

A pendulum's period is related to its length, but the relationship is not linear. A pendulum that is twice as long as another pendulum does not simply have a period that is also twice as long.

Huygens solved the essential problem in Galileo’s concept by “making the period of a pendulum truly constant by devising a pivot that caused the suspended body, or bob, to swing along the arc of a ...
