...the oscillation will become smaller and smaller, and the pendulum come at last to a state of rest. The motion of the pendulum from A to B is called an oscillation, the arc AB the amplitude, the angle measuring half the amplitude by which the pendulum is distant from... | |

...is descending from A to c, the motion is accelerated, and in ascending from c to B it is retarded. The motion of the pendulum from A to B is called an oscillation or vibration. The amplitude of each vibration is measured by the arc AB in degrees and minutes. The duration of a vibration... | |

... other side as far as B, describing an arc B c, nearly equal to the arc A c. From the point B it will again descend to c, and then ascend towards A, and so on, for a considerable time. When the weight is descending from A to c, the motion is accelerated,...
