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 ...

NEWFANE — When New Hampshire artist Don Fitzpatrick was setting up his harmonograph recently at Moore Library a person walked up to him and asked, "Where is the motor?" Fitzpatrick replied, "There is ...

A physical pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion when displaced by a small angle. The oscillations are no longer simple harmonic motion when it is released from a large angle. The pendulum's pivot ...

This module expands on the capabilities for teaching using a Pendulum. A pendulum by itself can provide valuable insight into harmonic motion and the relationship between frequency and period. It can ...

A ball is suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. The length of the pendulum is adjustable. For small amplitude, the motion of the pendulum as a function of time is approximately simple ...

From now until May 30, the exhibit, "Pendulum Autographs - Drawing with Harmonic Motion" is on display at the Crowell Art Gallery of the Moore Free Library in Newfane. A harmonograph will be set up in ...
