@matildalove@wetdry.world @rgarner@mastodon.social We've clearly read the same bash.org thread... It's always a marvel to me, For a pendulum hanging quite free, Each tick and each tock of a grandfather clock Is 2Pi(sqrt(L/g)). I still mention this to students at that level (even though it's an approximation). A mosquito was heard to exclaim, "A chemist has poisoned my brain!" The cause of its sorrow Was paradichloro- Diphenyltrichloroethane [EDIT: Corrected bracketing on 2Pi(sqrt(L/g)), thanks Anton]
