Foucault Pendulum (2D)
Top-down view of a pendulum swinging in a plane that stays fixed in space, while the floor beneath it turns with the real Earth-rotation formula ω = ΩEarth·sin(latitude). Drag Latitude to see the precession rate change — fastest at the poles, zero at the equator.
Swing angle θ: 0.00 rad
Floor heading: 0.0°
Real precession period: -
Sim time elapsed: 0.0 s
