A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released, the restoring force combined with the pendulum`s mass causes it to os....

[mathematics] The mathematics of pendulums are in general quite complicated. Simplifying assumptions can be made, which in the case of a simple pendulum allows the equations of motion to be solved analytically for small-angle oscillations. == Simple gravity pendulum == From here there are many ways to proceed to calculate the elliptic integ...

In a clock, the pendulum is linked to an escapement mechanism to regulate the action of the going train. The going train, in turn, gives an impulse to the pendulum on each swing, so maintaining its movement.

Any body suspended at a point so that it swings in an arc. A pendulum swinging under gravity marks out equal intervals of time. This fact, supposedly first observed by Galileo in the Cathedral at Pisa, enabled him to design the first pendulum clock. The credit for the general use of pendulums in clo...

A divinatory device consisting of a string attached to a heavy object, such as a quartz crystal, root, or ring. The free end of the string is held in the hand, the elbows steadied against a flat surface, and a question is asked. The movement of the heavy object's swings determines the answer. It is a tool which contacts the psychic mind.

A rod with a heavy metal weight, or bob, attached to the end, which swings under the influence of gravity and has a naturally isochronous motion or beat. In a clock, the pendulum is linked to an escapement mechanism, in order to regulate the action of the going train. The going train, in turn, gives an impulse to the pendulum on each swing, so main …...

Weight (called a `bob`) swinging at the end of a rod or cord. The regularity of a pendulum's swing was used in making the first really accurate clocks in the 17th century. Pendulums can be used for measuring the acceleration due to gravity (an important constant in physics). Specialized pendulums are used to measure velocities (ballis...
