What I then saw confounded and amazed me. The sweep of the pendulum had increased in extent by nearly a yard"(Poe‚ E. A

Abstract A pendulum was constructed and altered with differing weights‚ swing lengths‚ and pendulum lengths. The period for each variation was recorded and compared to find the factors that affected the length of the period. It was concluded that the length of the pendulum was the determining factor for the period of the swing. Introduction In 1581‚ Galileo began studying at the University of Pisa‚ where his father hoped he would study medicine. While at the University of Pisa‚ Galileo

Horror may be defined as “the feeling of revulsion that usually occurs after something frightening is seen‚ heard‚ or otherwise experienced. It is the feeling one gets after coming to an awful realization or experiencing a deeply

Edgar Allen Poe’s short story‚ “The Pit and the Pendulum” is told from a first person point of view.
