The correct cubic relation between the mass configuration of a Kater reversible pendulum and its period oscillation is here described in detail. The geometric study of the complex affine plane cubic curve associated with the period-distance relation allows to conclude that there could be as many as three distinct mass configurations for wich the periods of small oscillations about the two pivot of the pendulum have the same value.

Abstract

The correct cubic relation between the mass configuration of a Kater reversible pendulum and its period oscillation is here described in detail. The geometric study of the complex affine plane cubic curve associated with the period-distance relation allows to conclude that there could be as many as three distinct mass configurations for wich the periods of small oscillations about the two pivot of the pendulum have the same value. We also describe a concrete Kater pendulum realizing this property.
