  2. Seconds pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seconds_pendulum

    A seconds pendulum is a pendulum whose period is precisely two seconds; one second for a swing in one direction and one second for the return swing, a frequency of 0.5 Hz. [ 1 ] Pendulum

  3. Pendulum clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_clock

    The seconds pendulum (also called the Royal pendulum), 0.994 m (39.1 in) long, in which the time period is two seconds, became widely used in quality clocks. The long narrow clocks built around these pendulums, first made by William Clement around 1680, who also claimed invention of the anchor escapement, [ 4 ] became known as grandfather clocks .

  4. Pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum

    The seconds pendulum, a pendulum with a period of two seconds so each swing takes one second. The seconds pendulum, a pendulum with a period of two seconds so each swing takes one second, was widely used to measure gravity, because its period could be easily measured by comparing it to precision regulator clocks, which all had seconds pendulums ...

    Early versions erred by less than one minute per day, and later ones only by 10 seconds, very accurate for their time. Dials that showed minutes and seconds became common after the increase in accuracy made possible by the pendulum clock. Brahe used clocks with minutes and seconds to observe stellar positions. [112]

    Rather, the space agency and its partners are looking to create an entirely new “time scale,” or system of measurement that accounts for that fact that seconds tick by faster on the moon ...

  7. Timekeeping on the Moon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timekeeping_on_the_Moon

    Timekeeping on the Moon is an issue of synchronized human activity on the Moon and contact with such. The two main differences to timekeeping on Earth is the length of a day on the Moon, being the lunar day or lunar month, observable from Earth as the lunar phases, and the differences between Earth and the Moon of how differently fast time progresses, with 24 hours on the Moon being 58.7 ...

  9. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    The real period is, of course, the time it takes the pendulum to go through one full cycle. Paul Appell pointed out a physical interpretation of the imaginary period: [ 16 ] if θ 0 is the maximum angle of one pendulum and 180° − θ 0 is the maximum angle of another, then the real period of each is the magnitude of the imaginary period of ...
