 Pendulum facts


  • 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
  • When released, the restoring force combined with the pendulum's mass causes it to oscillate about the equilibrium position, swinging back and forth
  • The time for one complete cycle, a left swing and a right swing, is called the period
  • The period depends on the length of the pendulum and also to a slight degree on the amplitude, the width of the pendulum's swing
  • From the first scientific investigations of the pendulum around 1602 by Galileo Galilei, the regular motion of pendulums was used for timekeeping, and was the world's most accurate timekeeping technology until the 1930s
  • The pendulum clock invented by Christian Huygens in 1658 became the world's standard timekeeper, used in homes and offices for 270 years, and achieved accuracy of about one second per year before it was superseded as a time standard by quartz clocks in the 1930s
  • Pendulums are also used in scientific instruments such as accelerometers and seismometers
  • Historically they were used as gravimeters to measure the acceleration of gravity in geophysical surveys, and even as a standard of length
  • The word "pendulum" is new Latin, from the Latin pendulus, meaning 'hanging'
  • The simple gravity pendulum is an idealized mathematical model of a pendulum
