Re: Inertial vs gravitational mass



Sorry, I didn't remember that simple (or physical pendula) had been mentioned
in addition to torsion ones.

I beg your pardon, please explain.

Perhaps the word pendulum was used in a way that I am not familiar. The
pendulums with which I am familiar do not change period when the bob mass is
changed but rather when the pendulum length is changed.
