therefore to the acceleration gl\, will likewiseperform its oscillation in two seconds. 12. The dependence of the time of oscillation onthe length of the pendulum is very easily verifiable byexperiment. If (Fig. iii) the pendulums a, b, c.

But the demonstration can be effectedby allowing one component only of g to act on thependulum. If we imagine the axis of…
