A basic pendulum is a mass at the end of a string that swings back and forth. It seems simple, and it appears in most introductory physics textbooks. But it's not a trivial problem to solve for the ...

Pendulum shoulder swings are a simple yet effective exercise to improve posture and relieve tension in the upper body ...

The Foucault Pendulum illustrates the rotation of the earth. It is not constrained to stay in a fixed plane like a clock pendulum, but instead its ordinary pendulum motion is free to change direction ...

Introduction Did you know that playground swings can provide a good lesson in physics—as well as lots of fun? The back-and-forth motion of a swing is an example of a pendulum. We see pendulums in ...

Miami’s physics department may have gotten a new house last year, but it never really felt like home — until now. Missing was the department’s famed Foucault Pendulum. It couldn’t be moved from Culler ...
