    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

    | The Ballistic Pendulum | Determining the initial speed of a projectile | | | | | THE BALLISTIC PENDULUM ABSTRACT The experiment was carried out to determine the initial speed of a projectile: i) by means of a ballistic pendulum. ii) by measurements of the range and vertical distance of fall during its flight. The initial speed for the ballistic pendulum was found to be 5.0551±0.0008m/s and the initial speed for the pendulum was found to be 4.72±0.02 m/s. INTRODUCTION:

    • 3 Pages

    Simple Pendulum PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to study how the period of a pendulum depends on length‚ mass‚ and amplitude of the swing. THEORY A simple pendulum is an idealized model consisting of a point mass (sometimes called a pendulum bob) suspended by a massless unstretchable string. When the bob is pulled to one side of its straight down equilibrium position and released‚ it oscillates about the equilibrium position. The path of the bob is not a straight line but an arc

    Inventions of the Renaissance Clocks 
The first mechanical clock was invented in the early 1300’s. With this invention time began to be measured in hours (24 hours equaling a day). Galileo‚ an Italian scientist‚ discovered the pendulum in 1581. The pendulum greatly improved the constant movement of the hands or bell of a clock. The average error with the pendulum varied only by seconds each day. Before this the error was from 10 to 15 minutes a day. During the 1600’s the metallic gear‚ or toothed
