Gravity is, at heart, a mystery. Yes, we can talk about curvature of space-time and perhaps make analogies with stretched rubber sheets. But we don’t know why mass causes space-time to curve. To put ...

This project implements a numerical simulation of a damped pendulum in MATLAB. The code integrates the equations of motion for a pendulum under the influence of gravity and a damping torque. It ...

Along with gravimeters and torsion balances, pendulums can be used to measure gravitational force. The period oscillation of the pendulum can be used to measure gravitational acceleration, and in turn ...
