Pendulum timing mission: Measure the pendulum length

Name: Pendulum timing mission: Measure the pendulum length
Description: The length runs from pivot to center of mass, not just the visible string end. A consistent length definition improves timing comparisons. This authored animation illustrates the process; use real observations for measured results.
