Foucault Pendulum: Demonstrating Earth's Rotation
Description
This lecture introduces the Foucault pendulum, a famous scientific demonstration showing the effect of Earth's rotation. The presentation covers the Coriolis force, rotating frame of reference, and the center of mass movement. It explains the setup of Foucault pendulums, including the wheelwright ring for oscillation plane alignment. The lecture also discusses the systematic errors in the pendulum's motion and the forces acting on particle systems.
