Rod is long So swings can be seen as

tangential to the sphere

V

By Cleon Teunissen

Rod is long So swings can be seen as

tangential to the sphere

Pendulum moves slowly around latitude

so we ignore centripetal force on it Only

gravitation acts on the pendulum

V is parallel along the latitude It has holonomy

ω = - 2 π sin (1199070)

The covariant derivative 120629119958V of vector field V

is the projection of the change of vector field in

119906 direction onto the tangent plane

120572(119905)

A curve 120572(119905) on the surface is called a

ldquoGeodesicrdquo if 120571 prop prop = 0

Geodesics are the ldquolinesrdquo of curved spaces
