The Mechanics of Pendulum Clocks

The video tutorial explains the mechanism of pendulum clocks, starting with the basic concept of a pendulum and its historical discovery by Galileo Galilei. It describes how pendulums convert potential energy to kinetic energy and their role in regulating the speed of clock gears. The tutorial also delves into the inner workings of clocks, detailing how gears function to keep time accurately.

What role does the pendulum play in regulating the speed of the gears in a clock?

Describe how the escapement mechanism works in relation to the pendulum's movement.
