Answers
Answer:
Length of the pendulum:
Pendulum clocks should be attached firmly to a sturdy wall. The most common pendulum length in quality clocks, which is always used in grandfather clocks, is the seconds pendulum, about 1 metre (39 inches) long. In mantel clocks, half-second pendulums, 25 cm (9.8 in) long, or shorter, are used.
Oscillation of the pendulum:
An oscillation, in general, is the regular movement of something between two points.
Amplitude of the pendulum:
The amplitude of a pendulum is thus one-half the distance that the bob traverses in moving from one side to the other. Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.
Time period of the pendulum:
Pendulums are used to regulate the movement of clocks because the interval of time for each complete oscillation, called the period, is constant.
