Z. K. L3 A THE SIMPLE PENDULUM • General Background: A mass m hanging from a string whose length is L and a pivot point on which this mass is fixed are what a simple pendulum (which was discovered during the 10th century by Ibn Yusuf) consists of. During the 17th century‚ it is developed by some physicist‚ especially by Galileo. When the mass hanging from the string is released with an initial angle‚ it starts to move with a periodic motion. The motion can be approximated as a simple

The compound pendulum Consider an extended body of mass with a hole drilled though it. Suppose that the body is suspended from a fixed peg‚ which passes through the hole‚ such that it is free to swing from side to side‚ as shown in Fig. 98. This setup is known as a compound pendulum. | Figure 98: A compound pendulum. | Let be the pivot point‚ and let be the body’s centre of mass‚ which is located a distance from the pivot. Let be the angle subtended between the downward vertical (which passes

Simple Pendulum Experiment In this experiment you will make a simple pendulum consisting of a plumb bob and a piece of string anchored at two points. By attaching the string to two points the normal precession that would occur will be eliminated.

Physics PENDULUM INVESTIGATION Aim of the investigation The aim of the pendulum investigation is to see what will happen if I change a variable whilst I swing a pendulum and see the effect which it has on the pendulums time to complete one whole swing (from where it starts‚ to the opposite end‚ and back again). This will give me an insight into what will effect the time of the swinging of the pendulum‚ be it weight‚ string length‚ the angle‚ or the swinging point. Planning my investigation

Circus Cruelty Over the years circuses have been considered one of the most entertaining places of all time‚ but what happens when the show ends and everybody goes home? On the outside circuses seem magical and full of fun. People would think that they are harmless‚ but in reality they’re filled with abuse‚ fear‚ and neglect. While most famous shows claim that the animals are well kept and treated fairly‚ many sources seem to believe otherwise. Most of the performing animals belong in the

group was about Baileys significance in the story. We could not find any real reason that he was there except to add another view point of the circus in the story. Bailey’s had his own side story in the book which made the story more real. The second thing that we also discussed was what happened in the story so far. We talked about how the book‚ “The Night Circus”‚ is a fairytale most likely set in the Victorian Era . The description of the way the characters talked‚ the scenery‚ clothing described

The Butterfly Circus is an inspiring short film. It gave me a great impact especially during my very first beginning weeks of Master in Learning Sciences classes. I still feel miserable and less confident to get through this challenging course‚ but this film came just in time to encourage me‚ as per the Showman‚ Mr Mendez said to Will‚ the limbless man: “ The greater the struggle‚ the more glorious the triumph”. This film opens with a view of life in the Great Depression Era during 1930s where civilians
