- When the Kater’s pendulum is hung at a position except its center of mass, it oscillates due to coupled force arising from gravitational force at its end. When it does so we measure the period of oscillation for 20 oscillations.
- The time period is a function of position which appears to have two maxima and one minima.
Figure 1: Visualization of how a coupled force acts on Kater’s pendulum do bring it into oscillatory motion.
