Bowling Ball Pendulum

A bowling ball hanging from the ceiling on a flexible metal wire

PIRA: 3A10.15

Materials: Bowling Ball, Steel Cable, Caribeaner

This is a good representation of a pendulum when you have a big class and want to show a bigger version of a pendulum. However, this pendulum isn't perfect as it will slowly lose oscillation size due to friction in the cable and eventually stop.
