                                                    Anmerkungen:

                                                    • When the pendulum swings from one end to the other end and back, it makes one oscillation.
                                                    1. Longer pendulum, longer period
                                                      1. Lower gravity, longer period
                                                  2. Density
                                                    1. Mass per unit volume of a body
                                                      1. SI unit: kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m3)
                                                        1. Density = Mass / Volume
                                                          1. High density sink, low density float
