Length b + p also defines the center of oscillation of a physical pendulum, that is, the position of the mass of a simple pendulum that has the same period as the physical pendulum.

When calculating the period of a simple pendulum, the small-angle approximation for sine is used to allow the resulting differential equation to be solved easily by comparison with the differential equation describing simple harmonic motion.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far . . . I'll probably end up playing with either a water clock or a simple pendulum . talk ) 14 : 02, 20 February 2009 ( UTC)

Sir, there is a prove of the equation of simple pendulum, but there is no the dimensional analysis of simple pendulum formula to check weather it is correct or not-- 80.231.14.119

In the process, Huygens obtained solutions to dynamical problems such as the period of an oscillating simple pendulum as well as a compound pendulum, center of oscillation and its interchangeability with the pivot point, and the concept of moment of inertia.

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.

To get around this problem, most early gravity researchers, such as Jean Picard ( 1669 ), Charles Marie de la Condamine ( 1735 ), and Jean-Charles de Borda ( 1792 ) approximated a simple pendulum by using a metal sphere suspended by a light wire.

Two branches of Sabine's work are notable : Determination of the length of the seconds pendulum, a simple pendulum whose time period on the surface of the Earth is two seconds, that is, one second in each direction; and his research on the Earth's magnetic field.

Somewhere in your texbook there is an expression for the period of a simple pendulum in terms of its length " and " the local acceleration due to gravity ( or " g " )-if you can't find it in your textbook, take a look at our pendulum article.
