The pendulum is perhaps the simplest experimental devices ever
constructed, and yet for all its simplicity it has historically
enabled scientists to both investigate and enumerate gravity; the
fundamental force that shapes the very universe. The pendulum has
also allowed astronomers and geologists to measure the motion, mass
and distribution of matter within the Earth, and its stately swing
is at the very heartbeat of time. This book explores the many
applications of the pendulum, from its employment as a fundamental
experimental device, such as in the Cavendish torsion balance for
measuring the universal gravitational constant, to its everyday,
practical use in geology, astronomy and horology.
