Lecture
Many people have seen giant pendulums in science centers and museums but never really pondered the science behind them. In this presentation, we will learn that and much more including:
- What is a Foucault pendulum and what is its scientific significance
- The physics behind the Foucault pendulum
- Lesser-known physics: why Foucault pendulums don’t want to work and how to tame them. You may find this the most interesting part!
- Some details and examples
