🌍 Foucault Pendulum - 2D Floor Trace and Coriolis Precession Plot

2D companion of the Foucault pendulum simulation: top-view floor trace integrated in the rotating Earth frame with Coriolis and centrifugal terms, the swing-plane angle against the exact solution, and the precession period as a function of latitude.
