A physical model of one of these objects yields a term for angular frequency proportional to the square root of the product of mass and the distance between its center of gravity and the pivot, approximating harmonic motion.
A physical model of one of these objects yields a term for angular frequency proportional to the square root of the product of mass and the distance between its center of gravity and the pivot, approximating harmonic motion. A simple model of its motion holds that the square root of the gravitational constant over its length is equal to the wavelength. One type of this apparatus was set up by its namesake to demonstrate the rotation of the earth. FTP, name this physical device consisting of a weight on a string, an example of which is named for Foucault.
