Description
Understanding pendulum motion is fundamental to the study of vibrations and waves. This unique kit includes everything necessary for a full exploration of the basic features of pendulum motion in a complete but economical set. The individual components are of proven design –the drilled balls have a larger hole on one end than the other to allow suspension at the center of mass, and the triple support features clamps that make adjusting the cord length precise and easy. Students can assess the principal factors of mass, length, and amplitude and even venture into a consideration of air resistance.
