Wrapping up teaching for the semester at multiple campuses of South Florida State College and at Florida Atlantic University.
The Foucault Pendulum at the state college Avon Park campus consists of a 235 lb. hollow brass "bob" suspended by a 32-foot cable. There are 48 wooden #obelisks surrounding the pendulum which, due to the college's latitude of 27.32 deg North, takes 2 days, 4 hours and 19 minutes to knock down all 48 obelisks. This equates to about 165 deg of rotation every 24 hours.
See my Video with the Alice Cooper Schools Out Song:
My question is, who on campus is responsible for putting the obelisks back up so the pendulum can knock them down again?
Students, see you in the Fall (August)!
Thanks to Alice Cooper for the music. Play it at the end of every semester...
