Description
Foucault Pendulum demonstration at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
The gently swinging Foucault Pendulum in the central rotunda is a popular exhibit at the Griffith Observatory. The pendulum is one of the largest such devices in the world and demonstrates Earth’s rotation.
The heavy bronze ball is suspended by a 40-foot cable and swings in a specific direction while the Earth rotates beneath it. The pendulum is attached to a bearing in the ceiling that does not rotate with the building as it rotates with the Earth. As time passes, the pendulum knocks over pegs set up along the circumference of the pendulum pit, indicating Earth’s rotation.
