🚨 The Conical Pendulum Trap
Does a wider conical pendulum take longer to swing? Most students guess "yes"—but physics says otherwise. Download this slide deck to see exactly why that intuition fails.

Key takeaways:
• Mass and speed never dictate the period.
• T is strictly determined by vertical height (h = L cos θ), so T = 2π√(h / g).
• A wider cone always results in a shorter period.
• Why the conical pendulum fails as a clock.
