1. Description
The SW string pendulum set has everything you
need to build a string pendulum and carry out
extensive experiments on harmonic and chaotic
oscillations using a space-saving table-top set-
up.
It features a roll of string, a weight, a movable
plastic slider for changing the length of the pen-
dulum and magnetic strips for the purpose of
creating chaotic oscillations. A spring module
makes it possible to connect the pendulum to
the dynamic force sensors from the SW sensors
set in order to record and analyse oscillations
with two degrees of freedom by means of an
oscilloscope.
