Short Apollo 15 clip and photos during EVA 1 at St George Crater.

There is a much longer sequence of the video without the images here :

This is more or less an experimental video made while learning how to use my video editing software.

  • I guess you're going to work out g next?

  • @lukequixotesanjose

    Possible I guess.

  • @lukequixotesanjose

    I think it is. It would take a bit of doing. I'm sure it can be done. The problem is slightly more than setting up a simple SMH equation.

  • @lukequixotesanjose

    It would need knowing the correct dimensions of it.

    I assume the bar at the bottom is a solid weight, which could make it a bit awkward as the center of mass would be a bit different to a classical pendulum?

    It's a counter weight problem. If you had a light beam with two weights on the end, then it would be esaier to compute. The problem is, the whole Gnomon forms the oscilatting weight. I bet it could be googled.
