Gdańsk University of Technology crowned with a gilded image of the Allegory of Science. The main building encloses inner courtyards covered by glass domes designed by W. Czabański and Z. Wilk and installed in 2004. In 2012 the South Courtyard was officially renamed in honour of Johannes Hevelius. The Foucault pendulum is designed to show the rotation of the Earth on its axis. It is named after the French physicist who first performed a similar experiment at the Paris Pantheon in 1851. The machine that made its appearance in 2005 in the South Courtyard of Gdansk University of Technology is a 64 kg metal
Foucault pendulum vector diagrams velocity that is imparted to the pendulum bob in comparison to the angular velocity of the Earth. The statements above are thus equivalent to the inverse sine law for the observed time for a full rotation of the pendulum in relation to the rotation of the Earth. There is only one point of connection to the Earth for the swinging pendulum and that point of connection doesn't move in relation to the Earth. To approach the Pendulum Sine Law in basic steps: If it is proposed that; Then it follows that, For the 45° North pendulum with longitudinal swing (Figure
