Who invented the pendulum?

Christan Huygens invented the pendulum clock in 1659. Christan huygens is a Dutch Scientist.The invention of the pendulum clock is credited to Christian Huygens who developed working versions in the mid 1650's AD. A couple decades earlier, Galileo came up with designs for a pendulum clock, though it was not completed.


What are the limitation of simple pendulum?

The popular formula for the period of a pendulum works only for small angular displacements. In deriving it, you need to assume that theta, the angular displacement from the vertical, measured in radians, is equal to sin(theta). If not, you need to make much more complicated calculations. There are also other assumptions to simplify the formula - eg string is weightless. The swing of the pendulum will precess with the rotation of the earth. This may not work if the pendulum hits its stand! See Foucault's Pendulum (see link). The motion of the pendulum will die out as a result of air resistance. Thermal expansion can change the length of the pendulum and so its period.


Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent simple pendulum?

Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.


What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?

A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.

Where did you last see a pendulum on your daily travels?

There was on in the clock on a friend's mantelpiece.


What is the relationship between the period of a pendulum and its length?

For small angles, the formula for a pendulum's period (T) can be approximated by the formula:T = 2 * pi * sqrt(L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum length, and g is acceleration due to gravity. See related link for Simple Pendulum.

How much time it take if the pendulum is relesed at angle 1.75 degrees instead of 3.5 degrees?

The period of the pendulum is unchanged by the angle of swing. See link.

A swinging pendulum is moving fastest at?

A swinging pendulum is moving fastest at the lowest point of its arc. That is the point where all its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy, and it is the only point in a pendulum's arc where that happens. See related link (a simulation).
