Summary
[edit]DescriptionFoucault pendulum precession2.png |
English: Illustration for w:Foucault pendulum article. Precession (with respect to the Earth) of the plane of swing of a pendulum. (Pendulum located on the Northern hemisphere) Pattern of swing with a ratio of 22 swings to complete a precession cycle. Only eleven swings are visible, because the second eleven trace exactly the same path as the first eleven. A normal Foucault pendulum complets several thousand swings in the course of completing a full precession cycle. This image shows the precession in exaggerated form, to emphasize certain properties. |
