Additional Info

• ID Code: G1-01
• Purpose: Illustrates simple harmonic motion
• Description:
  This demonstration lets you compare three typical pendula: a simple pendulum (mass on string), a physical pendulum (swinging rod), and a mass on a spring. Any of these produce simple harmonic motion, with a variety of periods. Useful for showing that the same equation describes the motion of any type of oscillating body.
  You can also compare these real-world pendula with some simulated ones:
  1. Erik Neumann's Single Spring simulation
  2. Erik Neumann's Pendulum simulation
  3. PhET Masses on Springs
  4. PhET Pendulum Lab
