Foucault pendulum revisited, the determination of precession angular velocity using Cartesian coordinates
A review on the Foucault pendulum motion is presented using Cartesian coordinates for the ideal case and for small amplitude of oscillations. The choice of referential frames, the formulation and solution of Newton’s differential equation for the non-inertial frame of the Earth and the validity of t...
