Abstract:
The harmonic motion is a prominent motion in nature. Pendulums are made
for demonstrating harmonic oscillations and they are applied in various
physical systems. Damping of a pendulum with time is due to frictional
forces in nature. A case study was carried out to study of" frictional
damping of a physical pendulum. A mathematical model was developed.
This paper describes the mathematical model, data taking methodology, and
data analyzing in details. The results are in good agreement with the real
data.
