Table Above Shows Time For 40 Vibrations Pendulum
701 wordsA simple pendulum consists of a mass called the pendulum bob suspended from a support by a thread. A complete vibration of a pendulum consists of one swing over and one swing back. The time for a complete vibration is called the period (T) of a pendulum. This is usually measured in seconds. When a pendulum swings through a small arc, its bob is undergoing sample harmonic motion. The force causing the bob to swing along its arc is greatest when its speed is least. The force is least when the spee...
