From its discovery around 1602 by Galileo Galilei the regular motion of pendulums was used for timekeeping‚ and was the world ’s most accurate timekeeping technology until the 1930s.[2] Pendulums are used to regulate pendulum clocks‚ and are used in scientific instruments such as accelerometers and seismometers. Historically they were used as gravimeters to measure the acceleration of gravity in geophysical surveys‚ and even as a standard of length. The word ’pendulum ’ is new
