Marthe Schut,
Paul Schut,
André Heck

Abstract: How well do the so-called cheeks of Huygens enforce a constant time of oscillation on a pendulum, independent of the amplitude of the pendulum swing? We use a video measurement tool to test it with a homemade experimental setup that can be fruitfully used in classroom and physics laboratory settings. Data fits reveal how well the setup confirms the usefulness of the cheeks of Huygens. Comparisons of computer model results with recorded data have been made for the same purpose. The equation of motion of a pendu… Show more
