pendulum in a sentence

Meaning: 1) a weight attached to a rod or string, able to swing freely under the influence of gravity 2) a device consisting of a weight attached to a pivot, used to regulate the movement of a clock or other timekeeping mechanism 3) something that alternately fluctuates or swings in a regular rhythm or pattern 4) a tool used in physics experiments to demonstrate the principles of harmonic motion and gravity 5) a metaphorical reference to a situation or condition that exhibits regular and predictable fluctuations or swings
