G1-17: PENDULUM WITH LARGE-ANGLE OSCILLATION - PORTABLE

PURPOSE: To illustrate large-angle pendular oscillations and the 360 degree pendulum.

DESCRIPTION: The motion of a small-angle oscillation can be compared with large-angle oscillations. The motion of a 360 degree pendulum with just enough energy to execute complete circles can be observed or compared with calculations.

SUGGESTIONS:

REFERENCES: (PIRA 3A95.33)

EQUIPMENT: Small physical pendulum on folding stand with travel clamp.

SETUP TIME: None.
