Answers
Answer:
The sand pendulum is an exhibit which is sure to bring out the playfulness and delight the imagination of any participant. The purpose of this exhibit is to provide a graphic illustration of the interplay between two simple harmonic motions, with different frequencies, at right angles to each other.
The pendulum is moving in a fixed plane (if we disregard the fact that the Earth is also revolving through space), so the plane of the pendulum seems to rotate through 360° as the Earth makes one full rotation.
Explanation:
An hourglass (or sandglass, sand timer, sand clock or egg timer) is a device used to measure the passage of time. It comprises two glass bulbs connected vertically by a narrow neck that allows a regulated flow of a substance (historically sand) from the upper bulb to the lower one. Typically the upper and lower bulbs are symmetric so that the hourglass will measure the same duration regardless of orientation. The specific duration of time a given hourglass measures is determined by factors including the quantity and coarseness of the particulate matter, the bulb size, and the neck width.
Depictions of an hourglass as a symbol of the passage of time are found in art, especially on tombstones or other monuments, from antiquity to the present day.[citation needed] The form of a winged hourglass has been used as a literal depiction of the well-known Latin epitaph tempus fugit ("time flies").
