Pendulum with electromegnet
Dating11 March 1940
The period of small oscillations of a pendulum depends on the gravity. Three of the four oscillation rules of the pendulum can be verified by means of some simple pendulums, but for the fourth law is necessary to adopt some devices in order to vary the value of the local gravity. One of these is that the mass (an iron ball) be attracted by a electromagnet. The higher the attraction, the lower si the period.
