11．方位径向摆

将水平弹性杆的一端固定到刚性支架上。用绷紧的绳子支撑杆的另一端，以避免垂直偏转，并将物体悬挂在另一根绳上（见图）。在产生的摆中，径向振荡（平行于杆）可以自发地变换振荡方位（垂直于杆），反之亦然。研究此现象。

Azimuthal-Radial Pendulum

Fix one end of a horizontal elastic rod to a rigid stand. Support the other end of the rod with a taut string to avoid vertical deflection and suspend a bob from it on another string (see figure). In the resulting pendulum the radial oscillations (parallel to the rod) can spontaneously convert into azimuthal oscillations (perpendicular to the rod) and vice versa. Investigate the phenomenon.

12．居里点发动机
