The conical pendulum can be a tough topic. Mainly because it relies heavily on numerous past topics. In this episode we start by looking at the forces acting on the pendulum (1:10). Once you apply what you know about forces, you can use knowledge gained about circular motion (4:22). Of course, trigonometry makes its obligatory cameo, and we boil it all down to two simplified equations (5:45).
The Question of the Day asks: (7:13)
If a pendulum is relocated to a planet with one fourth the gravitational acceleration of Earth, how will the period of its rotation compare to on Earth?
