Summary
| Description |
English: This image shows a detail of the design that is shown in the Wheatstone pendulum image. The top side of the image shows the shape of the springs when the Wheatstone pendulum is not in motion. The bottom side of the image shows that when the platform is rotating there is an outward displacement of the pendulum bob. The inner spring is extended, the outside spring is shortened, and thus the springs provide the required centripetal force to make the pendulum bob move along a circular trajectory. |
