Historically, pendulums for specific purposes have been developed using a combination of simplified theory and trial and error. There do not appear to be any introductory books on pendulums, written at an intermediate level, and covering a wide range of topics. This book aims to fill the gap. It is written for readers with some background in elementary geometry, algebra, trigonometry and calculus. Historical information, where available and useful for the understanding of various types of pendulum and their applications, is included.. .Perhaps the best known use of pendulums is as the basis of clocks in which a pendulum controls the rate at which the clock runs. Interest in theoretical and practical aspects of pendulums, as applied to clocks, goes back more than four centuries. The concept of simple pendulums, which are idealised versions of real pendulums is introduced. The application of pendulums to clocks is described, with detailed discussion of the effect of inevitable differences between real pendulums and simple pendulums. In a clock, the objective is to ensure that the pendulum co | | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | | 关键词 | pendulum | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-1415-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-3634-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-1415-1Series ISSN 1875-3442 Series E-ISSN 1875-3426 | | issn_series | 1875-3442 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 |
