Kater's variety of this device can be used to find the local gravitational acceleration, and the double variety exemplifies chaotic motion.
Kater's variety of this device can be used to find the local gravitational acceleration, and the double variety exemplifies chaotic motion. The Foucault variety of this device proves that the Earth is rotating, and the period of a simple one of these devices is equal to 2 pi times the square root of L over g. Their behavior can be approximated as (*) simple harmonic motion when the small-angle approximation holds and the amplitude is small. For ten points, what is this device commonly used in physics, in which a weight is suspended from a pivot point by a string, allowing it to swing back and forth?
