  • Measurement of Time
    Measurement of Time M.Y. ANAND, B.A. KAGALI* Department of Physics, Bangalore University, Bangalore 560056 *email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Time was historically measured using the periodic motions of the sun and stars. Various types of sun clocks were devised in Egypt, Greece and Europe. Different types of water clocks were assembled with ever greater accuracy. Only in the seventeenth century did the mechanical clock with pendulums and springs appeared. Accurate quartz clocks and atomic clocks were developed in the first half of the twentieth century. Now we have clocks that have better than microsecond accuracy. This article gives a brief account of all these topics. Keywords: Sun clocks, Water clocks, Mechanical clocks, Quartz clocks, Atomic clocks, World Time, Indian Standard time We all know intuitively what time is.

  • Pendulum Time" Lesson Explores How the Pendulum Has Been a Reliable Way to Keep Time for Centuries
    IEEE Lesson Plan: P endulum Time Explore other TryEngineering lessons at www.tryengineering.org L e s s o n F o c u s Lesson focuses on how pendulums have been used to measure time and how mechanical mechanism pendulum clocks operate. Students work in teams to develop a pendulum out of everyday objects that can reliably measure time and operate at two different speeds. They will determine the materials, the optimal length of swing or size of weight to adjust speed, and then develop their designs on paper. Next, they will build and test their mechanism, compare their results with other student teams, and share observations with their class. Lesson Synopsis The "Pendulum Time" lesson explores how the pendulum has been a reliable way to keep time for centuries. Students work in teams to build their own working clock using a pendulum out of every day materials. They will need to be able to speed up and slow down the motion of the pendulum clock. They sketch their plans, consider what materials they will need, build the clock, test it, reflect on the assignment, and present to their class. A g e L e v e l s 8-18. Objectives Learn about timekeeping and engineering. Learn about engineering design and redesign. Learn how engineering can help solve society's challenges. Learn about teamwork and problem solving. Anticipated Learner Outcomes As a result of this activity, students should develop an understanding of: timekeeping engineering design teamwork Pendulum Time Provided by IEEE as part of TryEngineering www.tryengineering.org © 2018 IEEE – All rights reserved.

  • This Is Part 1 of 2 on Servicing the 400-Day (Anniversary) Clock
    1 This is part 1 of 2 on servicing the 400-day (Anniversary) clock. This article will be a 2-part series devoted to the servicing of the 400-day or Anniversary clock by Michael P. Murray. Mike was AWI’s 400-day clock repair bench course Instructor. The 400-day course is a 2-day “hands on” affair with the students working on the clock that they bring and Mike can accommodate anywhere from 8 to 16 students. For more information about Mike please see his Website at: http://www.atmosman.com/400dayin.html . This article is copyrighted to the author and references. Members, In my initial series on the 400-day clock, we will cover final assembly right through final timing. My assumption is that we all know the basics but it’s the last seemingly basis steps where most of the troubles occur when servicing this slightly temperamental timepiece. My goal in writing these articles is to get you past many of the pitfalls and erroneous assumptions. There are no real “secrets” and I hope to enable anyone who reads this by dispelling any fears or myths. So if you’re not currently servicing the 400-day, I urge you to give them another try. Series Assumptions A quick mention of what I expect as the “basis”. You’re checked for and corrected any pivot, tooth, or gear depthing problems (depthing problems are extremely rare), used a mainspring winder to remove and install the mainspring, cleaned and lubricated same, pegged all pivot holes, polished all pivots and pivot shoulders, polished the anchor pin and the inside of the fork tines, and cleaned all parts.

  • Oscillations[2] 2.0.Pdf
    Team ______________ ______________ Oscillations Oscillatory motion is motion that repeats itself. An object oscillates if it moves back and forth along a fixed path between two extreme positions. Oscillations are everywhere in the world around you. Examples include the vibration of a guitar string, a speaker cone or a tuning fork, the swinging of a pendulum, playground swing or grandfather clock, the oscillating air in an organ pipe, the alternating current in an electric circuit, the rotation of a neutron star (pulsars), neutrino oscillations (subatomic particle), the up and down motion of a piston in an engine, the up and down motion of an electron in an antenna, the vibration of atoms in a solid (heat), the vibration of molecules in air (sound), the vibration of electric and magnetic fields in space (light). The Force The dynamical trademark of all oscillatory motion is that the net force causing the motion is a restoring force. If the oscillator is displaced away from equilibrium in any direction, then the net force acts so as to restore the system back to equilibrium. Definition: A simple harmonic oscillator is an oscillating system whose restoring force is a linear force − a force F that is proportional to the displacement x : F = − kx . The force constant k measures the strength of the force and depends on the system parameters. If you know the force constant of the system, then you can figure out everything about the motion. Examples of force constants: k = K (mass on spring of spring constant K), k = mg/L (pendulum of length L), k = mg/D (wood on water, submerged a distance D).
