    Pendulum Relation
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between a simple pendulum and a seconds pendulum, specifically defining the latter as one that completes a period in exactly two seconds. The key point is that the length of a seconds pendulum is critical for its operation, with a precise measurement of 0.994 meters required. This length ensures that the pendulum swings with the correct timing. The conversation emphasizes the importance of pendulum length in determining its period. Understanding this relationship is essential for accurate pendulum design and function.

what is the relation between simple and second pendulum?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Please define what you mean by a second pendulum. If you mean the seconds pendulum where each period is exactly 2 seconds, then the relation is simply of length. A seconds pendulum needs a specific length to operate. (0.994m to be exact)

This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
