The Relationship Between Simple Pendulum Motion and Music

[avocadogirl]

As I've posted before, I teach an acoustics lab to undergraduate physics students and, they are currently working on an experimental observation of the motion of the simple pendulum.

How does the motion of a simple pendulum relate to music?

Everyone who has replied to any of my threads has been an immense help. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all!

they both have a frequency (sqrt(g/L) and Pi*sqrt(Tension)/(L*sqrt(mass_density)) (for a guitar).

damping affects the amplitude of both swing and sound...

if it was a non simple pendulum you could talk about harmonics and normal modes and stuff...

wish i could be more help
