The prisoner frees himself from the restraints by rubbing the spiced meat on his straps. The rats then chewed through the straps, letting him go.

Why the acceleration of free fall by means of the simple pendulum methods?

What happens to the path of a pendulum over a day?
if the pendulum is free to swing in any direction (not constrained to a single plane, as is the pendulum in a pendulum clock), this is called a Foucault pendulum, and each swing will be slightly offset from the previous one due to the rotation of the Earth. If you were to attach a pen to the bottom of a Foucault pendulum, over the course of time it would make a tremendously complicated spirograph pattern.
What is the definition of the period of a pendulum?
Don't know whether this is right but ... The period of a pendulum is the time required for one complete cycle - a swing from right to left :)
How do you build foucault pendulum?
Any pendulum on a string ... free to swing in any direction ... can demonstratethe behavior associated with Foucault's pendulum. The only trick is that it has tokeep going for several hours before the behavior is obvious. So the task ofbuilding a Foucault pendulum is actually the task of building a pendulum thatdoesn't run down and stop. There are a number of simple electric/magnetic waysto do that, including the one I installed in 1968, to run the Foucault Pendulumin the lobby of the Oklahoma Science and Arts Foundation, at its old location atthe Oklahoma State Fairgrounds.
How can you relate the pendulum in daily life?
The pendulum appears everywhere in daily life..and you may not realize it. 1. Of course there is the Grandfather Clock and all other Pendulum clocks. 2. The next most commonly seen pendulum is the kiddie swing. Actually a tandem pendulum. One of the biggest errors in installing a tree mounted swing is to have two different length support chains. The two pendulums will swing with different (time) periods, swinging crookedly cock-eyed. 3. Automobiles have used a Pendulum mechanism to sense a crash and lock up the seat belts. The mechanism is installed in the door pillar with the seat belt retracter. 4. The "Door Knocker" on a front door is a form of Pendulum. Not free swinging, but static against the door, until 'knocked'. 5. Oh, don't forget the Metronome, an Inverted Pendulum. 6. The combination of Pendulum and Clockwork appears in other places as well. Think of the 'Old - Style' car bumper jack. The handle is the pendulum, and the notches and mechanism on the vertical riser is the clockwork. Work the handle and the jack goes up or down.
How does he manage to break free from his bonds in the story the pit and the pendulum?
In "The Pit and the Pendulum," the protagonist escapes his bonds by using the meat from his prison food to attract rats to chew through the ropes holding him. By cleverly taking advantage of the surrounding circumstances, he is able to free himself and avoid the swinging pendulum.

Frictionlist pendulum is an example of the pendulum of a clock, a reversible process, free.

What will the time period of simole pendulum in free space?
Unless it's in a ship that is accelerating, a simole pendulum will not swing in free space. If it's in a ship that's accelerating, its period will depend on the magnitude of the acceleration.

How does the foucault pendulum show time?
A Foucault pendulum is a pendulum with a large length which is free to oscillate in any vertical plane. At the equator, the plane of oscillation remains fixed relative to the earth. Elsewhere, the plane of oscillation rotates, at a speed that is related to the latitude of the location. In Paris, where Foucault's pendulum is located, the plane of the pendulum's oscillation moves at approx 11 degrees per hour. This movement can be used to tell the time.
What does a Ellicott Pendulum measure?
An Ellicott pendulum is a temperature compensated clock pendulum. The metal rod of a pendulum changes its length with temperature. The consequence is, that a colder pendulum swings faster (the rod is shorter) and a warm pendulum swings slower (longer rod). The Ellicott pendulum compensates this temperature error of the pendulum. It consists of a steele rod and two brass rods, wich are connectet in one point above the pendulum bob. Brass has a higher temperature coefficient than steele. On the free end of the three rods, a special lever mechanism, controlled by the lenght difference of the rods, lifts the pendulum bob up, when the length of the rods grows. The bob stays at its position and the period of the pendulum is without temperature influence. See also http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ellicott_pendulum.png
