A cycloidal pendulum - one suspended from the cusp of an inverted cycloid - is isochronous, meaning its period is constant regardless of the amplitude of the swing. Please find the proof using energy methods: Lagrange's equations (in the images attached to the reply).

Background:
The standard pendulum period of \(2\pi\sqrt{L/g}\) or frequency \(\sqrt{g/L}\) holds only for small oscillations. The frequency becomes smaller as the amplitude grows. If you want to build a pendulum whose frequency is independent of the amplitude, you should hang it from the cusp of a cycloid of a certain size, as shown in the gif. As the string wraps partially around the cycloid, the effect decreases the length of the string in the air, increasing the frequency back up to a constant value.

In more detail:
A cycloid is the path taken by a point on the rim of a rolling wheel. The upside-down cycloid in the gif can be parameterized by \((x, y)=R(\theta-\sin\theta, -1+\cos\theta)\), where \(\theta=0\) corresponds to the cusp. Consider a pendulum of length \(L=4R\) hanging from the cusp, and let \(\alpha\) be the angle the string makes with the vertical, as shown (in the proof).

#Fuji has good #legacy on #medium #format #fixed #focal #length #rangefinders, their #645, #680 and #690 #cameras have been appreciated, especially in Japan. Always wanted one myself but the availability and #prize in Europe has been less than ideal. Now these cameras are half a century old so replacing them with #digital medium format rangefinder makes a lot of of sense. Especially considering how difficult is to #service and #repair these old #analog cameras.
