Dynamics of heavy and buoyant underwater pendulums [PDF]
The humble pendulum is often invoked as the archetype of a simple, gravity driven, oscillator. Under ideal circumstances, the oscillation frequency of the pendulum is independent of its mass and swing amplitude.

GALILEO’S PENDULUM AS A MAGNETIC BALANCE FOR STUDYING CHEMICAL MAGNETISM AT HOME [PDF]
A very simple, but rich experiment, encompassing a classical Galileo’s pendulum, has been devised to be performed at home, especially during the Covid-19 pandemics.

Variations on the adiabatic invariance: the Lorentz pendulum [PDF]
We analyze a very simple variant of the Lorentz pendulum, in which the length is varied exponentially, instead of uniformly, as it is assumed in the standard case.

Studies of Free Falling Object and Simple Pendulum Using Digital Video Analysis
The motion of a free falling object and a simple pendulum were analyzed by digital cameras and computer programs (Sony Vegas, Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Excel). The positions of the moving objects were evaluated every 33 ms from a series of images and

The assessment of spasticity: Pendulum test based smart phone movie of passive markers [PDF]
The pendulum test is the method for quantification of the level of spasticity in persons with spinal cord and brain injuries/diseases. The data for the assessment comes from the analysis of lower leg rotation in the sagittal plane while sitting ...

Uma discussão sobre as aproximações na determinação do período máximo de um pêndulo simples
Neste trabalho discutimos os cuidados que se deve tomar em fazer aproximações e nos termos que são desprezados, no caso particular da expressão para o período máximo de um pêndulo longo oscilando nas proximidade da superfície terrestre.

An accurate formula for the period of a simple pendulum oscillating beyond the small-angle regime
A simple approximation formula is derived here for the dependence of the period of a simple pendulum on amplitude that only requires a pocket calculator and furnishes an error of less than 0.25% with respect to the exact period.
