A basic pendulum is a mass at the end of a string that swings back and forth. It seems simple, and it appears in most introductory physics textbooks. But it's not a trivial problem to solve for the ...

The narrator observed a pendulum in the choir, understanding its isochronal motion was governed by the wire's length and π. A magnetic device beneath the floor ensured its perpetual oscillation by ...

This is a requested post. Clearly, I do requests. The idea here is that I am going to give all the details needed to determine the equation of motion (and then model it) for a basic pendulum. Warning: ...

Miami’s physics department may have gotten a new house last year, but it never really felt like home — until now. Missing was the department’s famed Foucault Pendulum. It couldn’t be moved from Culler ...

How to model a pendulum in Python using Jupyter Notebooks. This video walks through the physics of pendulum motion and shows how to simulate it step by step with clean Python code and clear ...
