Conical Pendulum

A pendulum that swings in a horizontal circle and sweeps out the shape of a cone with its mass and string is known as a "conical pendulum. " In this animation we see the sweep of the pendulum from several angles: the top, side, and at the horizon level, with an equation superimposed over the shape of the cone toward the end.
