These oscillations, not a planet, are the true cause of the spectrum shifts, he says, noting that the period of oscillations is 4 . 23 days _ the same as the purported orbital period.

Several empirical tests of Newton's theory, explaining the longer period of oscillation of a pendulum at the equator and the differing size of a degree of latitude, gradually became available over the period 1673 1738.

The period of oscillations is constant by the variable ? : ?? = 2? ( or, which is the same, with a constant period by logarithmic time : ? ln " t " = 2? " ? " 2 ).

The resulting differential equation implies that " x " must oscillate sinusoidally over time, with a period of oscillation that is inherent to the system . " x " may oscillate with any amplitude, but will always have the same period.
15.
The same point is called the "'center of oscillation "'for the object suspended from the pivot as a pendulum, meaning that a simple pendulum with all its mass concentrated at that point will have the same period of oscillation as the compound pendulum.
16.
This means that most atmospheric tides have periods of oscillation related to the 24-hour length of the solar day whereas ocean tides have longer periods of oscillation related to the lunar day ( time between successive lunar transits ) of about 24 hours 51 minutes.

:As I recall, it was Galileo who first noted that the period of oscillation was independent of the arc of the swing, so it's possible they didn't do it because they thought it would be inaccurate .-Akamad 00 : 52, 27 June 2007 ( UTC)

In 1923 Schuler published his discovery that if the gyrocompass was tuned to have an 84.4 minute period of oscillation ( the " Schuler period " ) then it would resist errors due to sideways acceleration of the ship or aircraft in which it was installed.

This shows that the period of oscillation is independent of the amplitude and mass of the pendulum but not of the acceleration due to gravity, g, therefore a pendulum of the same length on the Moon would swing more slowly due to the Moon's lower gravitational field strength.
