Product Code : SCL-ELE-14726
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Foucault's Pendulum (Product ID: 14726) as part of its chemistry lab equipment range. It is a demonstration pendulum whose plane of swing slowly turns relative to the base markings, showing the rotation of the Earth.
Quick Answer
Once released, the pendulum keeps swinging in a fixed plane while the Earth, and the base with it, turns underneath; the apparent turning rate is 15° per hour multiplied by the sine of the latitude, so it is slower nearer the equator and zero at the equator itself. The model has a stainless steel or brass bob of 1–3 kg on a reinforced string or wire, 1–2 m long, hung from a low-friction pivot or knife-edge on a supporting frame, with a wooden or metal base carrying direction markers. A short pendulum loses its swing sooner than a tall museum one, so release it from rest without a sideways push and read the shift over a limited period. Please confirm the length and bob weight at quotation.

Where This Is Used
It is used in physics classes on rotating reference frames and in science exhibitions. The heavy bob can injure if it swings into someone, so keep a clear area around it. Browse the full Chemistry Lab Equipment (general) range or related Physics Lab Equipment products.
