(Note: this is part of a series of posts, in which I attempt explain a basic physics concept and put it in a wider context. The first Physics Quantum introduced the basic physics of ideal pendulums undergoing small oscillations; the second extended the idea to large oscillations and added in air resistance. As I promised,…
