Hi, i'm doing my science exit project on the Foucault Pendulum, and I have a day to make a pendulum and give in my observations.
So i'd like to ask if anyone knows how to make a mini sized pendulum, because i don't have a big room or space to make a pendulum suspended from the roof.
please be as precise as possible. thanks.How do I make a mini sized pendulum?You only need a string, a weight just heavy enough not to blow in the wind and a thumb tack strong enough to hold it.
You could hang it in a doorway or even (if careful) a ceiling.
If the ceiling has a plant hanger hook you are set to go for sure.
Foucault set his pendelulm swinging in one direction and watches as it seemed to chang where it was swinging over.
The pendelum actually kept swinging in the same direction as it started and his point was that the earth moved in a certain direction underneath it. The change was the same direction and the same amount in the same time each trial of the pendelum.How do I make a mini sized pendulum?cut a paper cup in half and suspend paper clip with thread
