Abstract

The article explores the pendulum motion of a cone-shaped object on a slight incline, oscillating back and forth as a stringless pendulum. Theoretical and experimental results are presented using two steel balls of different diameters joined together. The study demonstrates how a conical object can oscillate on an incline without sliding down, resembling the motion of a simple pendulum, and provides insights into the physics behind this unique phenomenon. The research findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of conical objects on inclines and can be a fascinating topic for students studying physics. [Extracted from the article]
