how did the pendulum clock developed give me a short note on it
Answers
Answer:
A pendulum clock is a clock that uses a pendulum, a swinging weight as its timekeeping element. From its invention in 1656 by Christiaan Huygens until the 1930s, the pendulum clock was the world’s most precise timekeeper. Pendulum clocks had to be stationary and level to operate. Any motion or accelerations will affect the motion of the pendulum causing loss or gain of pendulum speed and beat. Antique Pendulum Clocks are now kept mostly for their decorative and antique value.
Galileo and his son had the idea for a pendulum clock in 1637, but neither lived to finish it. The introduction of the pendulum increased the accuracy of clocks enormously from about 15 minutes per day to 15 seconds per day leading to their rapid spread replacing older designs.
Explanation:
The Italian scientist Galileo first noted (c. 1583) the constancy of a pendulum's period by comparing the movement of a swinging lamp in a Pisa cathedral with his pulse rate. The Dutch mathematician and scientist Christiaan Huygens invented a clock controlled by the motion of a pendulum in 1656.
