The pendulum—Rich physics from a simple system

Abstract: We provide a comprehensive discussion of the corrections needed to accurately measure the acceleration of gravity using a plane pendulum. A simple laboratory experiment is described in which  g was determined to four significant figures of accuracy.

“…Uma interessante discussão teórica sobre a metodologia de cálculo do período de oscilaçãó e feita em [8]. Os efeitos do amortecimento no pêndulo foram explorados em [9][10][11][12][13]. Miller associou o amortecimento do pêndulo a efeitos proporcionais ao quadrado da velocidade [9].…”

“…From the calculus of logarithmic decrement of damping he determines the viscosity of the liquid. Besides the forces met above, other forces are responsible of motion damping [7] like the force describing the history of the motion of the fluid or the correction term for the drag force due to the effect of finite boundaries of the liquid.…”
