Our Simple Pendulum consists of a brass bob of 1" diameter
Our Simple Pendulum consists of a brass bob of 1" diameter suspended by flexible and weightless stitching thread. The 2nd end of thread is tied to the rigid support. Supplied with heavy metallic base with leveling screws alongwith rod & special clamp.
A Simple Pendulum becomes a good time indicator and as such can be used a time measuring device.
The simple pendulum executes Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) as the acceleration of the pendulum bob is directly proportional to its displacement from the mean position and is always directed towards it. where L is the length of the pendulum, and g is the acceleration due to gravity at the place of experiment.
