- pendulum, body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity. Pendulums are used to regulate the movement of clocks because the interval of time for each complete oscillation, called the period, is constant.

A pendulum is a device made of a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. [1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position.
A pendulum is a mass suspended from a pivot point that is free to swing back and forth. Because the motion is oscillatory (a fancy way to say back and forth) and periodic (repeating with a characteristic time), pendulums have been used in clocks since the 17th century.
Sep 12, 2022 · A simple pendulum is defined to have a point mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a string of length L with negligible mass (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)). Here, the only forces acting on the bob are the force of gravity (i.e., the weight of the bob) and tension from the string.
A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support such that it freely swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back towards the equilibrium position.
Sep 30, 2023 · A pendulum is a device that is found in wall clocks. It consists of a weight (bob) suspended from a pivot by a string or a very light rod so that it can swing freely. When displaced to an initial angle and released, the pendulum will swing back and forth with a periodic motion.
Feb 20, 2022 · A simple pendulum is defined to have an object that has a small mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a light wire or string, such as shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\). Exploring the simple pendulum a bit further, we can discover the conditions under which it performs simple harmonic motion, and we can derive an ...
