Abstract
Abstract:Léon Foucault's pendulum experiment in 1851 generated widespread interest. The experiment was repeated in numerous locations in Europe and the United States of America. The more careful of these demonstrations confirmed the effect of the Earth's rotation on the precession of the swing-plane of the pendulum. A set of pendulum experiments were carried out by Joseph Galbraith and Samuel Haughton in Dublin and a comprehensive mathematical analysis of them was published in 1851.
