	Pendulum Physics Simulation
		The pendulum is modeled as a point mass at the end of a massless rod.
		This is the equation of motion for the pendulum.
		The amplitude of the sine relationship is inversely proportional to length of the pendulum.

	Pendulum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pendulum was discovered by Ibn Yunus during the 10th century, who was the first to study and document its oscillatory motion.
		A pendulum in which the rod is not vertical but almost horizontal was used in early seismometers for measuring earth tremors.
		Pendulums (these may be a crystal suspended on a chain, or a metal weight) can also be used in divination and dowsing.

		The length of a pendulum is the distance from the point of suspension to the center of gravity of the bob (see center of mass).
		Metal pendulums are lengthened by heat; to counteract the effect of temperature changes, compensation pendulums have been devised, many of them operating by the opposite expansion of different metals in compound rods.
		In 1851, J. Foucault demonstrated the rotation of the earth by suspending in the Panthéon in Paris a 200-ft (61-m) pendulum that traced its path in sand on the floor.

	The Galileo Project \| Science \| Pendulum Clock
		His first biographer, Vincenzo Viviani, states that he began his study of pendulums after he watched a suspended lamp swing back and forth in the cathedral of Pisa when he was still a student there.
		Galileo's discovery was that the period of swing of a pendulum is independent of its amplitude--the arc of the swing--the isochronism of the pendulum.
		In 1602 he explained the isochronism of long pendulums in a letter to a friend, and a year later another friend, Santorio Santorio, a physician in Venice, began using a short pendulum, which he called "pulsilogium," to measure the pulse of his patients.

	Chaotic Pendulum Physics Simulation
		A damped driven pendulum is often used as a basic example of a chaotic system.
		The damping (friction) is proportional to the angular velocity of the pendulum.
		This is the equation of motion for the driven damped pendulum.

	Pendulum
		The classic pendulum story has the young Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) using his heart rate to time the oscillations of the chandelier in the cathedral at Pisa.
		The period of the pendulum depends on its length, but the length of a metal pendulum rod changes with the temperature; as the temperature goes up, the length increases and the clock controlled by the pendulum runs slow.
		The basic device was the "seconds pendulum with audible beat, with dial and projecting pointer, on iron stand with levelling screws".

	Smithsonian FAQs: Foucault Pendulum
		Thus if you stood watching the pendulum, after a quarter of an hour or so, you would be likely to notice that the line of the pendulum's swing has changed to a different direction.
		For a pendulum to easily demonstrate the Foucault effect, it should have as long a cable as possible (this one is 52 feet) and a heavy symmetrical bob (this one is hollow brass, weighing about 240 pounds).
		When the pendulum cable reaches a particular point in its swing, it is detected by an electronic device and the magnet is turned on at just the right time to give the collar (and thus the cable and the bob) a little "kick" in the exact direction of its natural swing.

	Foucault pendulum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the equator the equilibrium position of the pendulum is in a direction that is perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation.
		The origin of the force that is involved in the precession of the Foucault pendulum with respect to the fixed stars is the centripetal force that keeps objects on the Earth's surface moving in circular paths.
		It is common to describe the precession of the pendulum as being 'due to the coriolis effect'.

	The Physics Classroom
		The motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation.
		A pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob) attached by a string to a pivot point.
		At all points in the trajectory of the pendulum bob, the angle between the force of tension and its instantaneous displacement is 90 degrees.

	Pendulum -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics
		A "bob" or "simple" pendulum is a pendulum consisting of a single spherical (or point) mass attached to a wire of negligible weight.
		A "physical" pendulum has extended size and is a generalization of the bob pendulum.
		A simple pendulum can be treated as a special case of a physical pendulum with moment of inertia

		We have chosen to study the behavior of a pendulum and try to learn how the length of the pendulum arm and the size and mass of the pendulum bob affect its motion.
		This algorithm approximates the velocity and angular displacement of the bob of a pendulum using a time stepping scheme to first update the velocity and then use the updated velocity to update the displacement using Equations (1) and (2) of the previous section.
		As a partial validation of the code, we plan to use a one meter long pendulum and a stop watch to see if a pendulum released from 45 degrees takes about.5 seconds to reach the vertical (.5 seconds is what the code predicts).

	Mathematical mysteries: Foucault's pendulum and the eclipse
		A Foucault pendulum is just like any other pendulum, nothing more than a weight attached to a wire; but to work well it needs to have a very long wire, with a really heavy weight.
		What makes a Foucault pendulum different from a normal pendulum is that it is attached at the top to a universal joint which allows the pendulum to rotate freely around its fixing point as it swings.
		The rate of rotation of Foucault's pendulum is pretty constant at any particular location, but in 1954, during an experiment with one, a physicist named Maurice Allais got a surprise.

		Pendulum formed in their home-town of Perth (Western Australia) in 2002, when producers Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen teamed up with acclaimed local DJ Paul 'Elhornet' Harding.
		While their individual formative roots ranged from producing drum & bass, breakbeat and hardcore, to playing in metal and punk bands, their comparable talents proved an unstoppable force when they managed to single-handedly conquer the world of drum & bass in their first 12 months together.
		The last 12 months have seen Pendulum retreat to the depths of the underground to work on their second album, and to hone and perfect their sound for the live arena.
