A Foucault Pendulum Can Reveal Your Latitude #Shorts
The precession period of a Foucault pendulum depends on latitude. By measuring how long the pendulum takes to complete its apparent rotation, we can calculate where on Earth the pendulum is located. In Chicago, the measured period gives the city’s latitude remarkably well. Science You Can Test. #Science #Physics #FoucaultPendulum #EarthRotation #Latitude #Shorts
