Torsional Pendulum

A Pendulum, the weight of which is rotated alternately in opposite directions through a horizontal plane by the torsion of the suspending rod or spring, used for clocks intended to run a long time between windings.

Formula Used:

t = 2pi sqrt( l I0 / kt)

where,

pi = Constant(3.14)
t = Period [s]
l = Length of the spring[m]
I0 = Moment of Inertia of Bob [kgm2]
kt = Torsional Rigidity [Nm2]
