Paraconical pendulum as a detector of gravitational effects during solar eclipses (processing data and results). (original) (raw)

Abstract

A statistical analysis of data collected during observation of a total solar eclipse of July 11, 1991 at Mexico City is presented. The variation of the velocity of the azimuth of the major axis of the pendulum's oscillation ellipse during the eclipse is determined and the sudden deviation of the azimuth of the plane of swinging at the start of the eclipse is calculated.
