  2. Kater's pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kater's_pendulum

    Gravimeter with variant of Repsold pendulum The large increase in gravity measurement accuracy made possible by Kater's pendulum established gravimetry as a regular part of geodesy . To be useful, it was necessary to find the exact location (latitude and longitude) of the 'station' where a gravity measurement was taken, so pendulum measurements ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum

    The Q is equal to 2π times the energy stored in the pendulum, divided by the energy lost to friction during each oscillation period, which is the same as the energy added by the escapement each period. It can be seen that the smaller the fraction of the pendulum's energy that is lost to friction, the less energy needs to be added, the less the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilberforce_pendulum

    The pendulum is usually adjusted by moving the moment of inertia adjustment weights towards or away from the centre of the mass by equal amounts on each side in order to modify f R, until the rotational frequency is close to the translational frequency, so the alternation period will be slow enough to allow the change between the two modes to ...

  6. Dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_system

    The concept of a dynamical system has its origins in Newtonian mechanics.There, as in other natural sciences and engineering disciplines, the evolution rule of dynamical systems is an implicit relation that gives the state of the system for only a short time into the future.

  7. Oscillating water column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillating_water_column

    The PTO system is the second main component of an OWC device. It converts the pneumatic power into a desired energy source (i.e. sound or electricity). The PTO system design is very important to the efficiency of the oscillating water column. It must be able to convert airflow going both out of and into the collecting chamber into energy.

    There are some notable similarities in equations for momentum, energy, and mass transfer [7] which can all be transported by diffusion, as illustrated by the following examples: Mass: the spreading and dissipation of odors in air is an example of mass diffusion. Energy: the conduction of heat in a solid material is an example of heat diffusion.
