Pendulum Motion Diagram

These diagrams present three distinct configurations of a vertical slender rod, each demonstrating different end conditions crucial for structural analysis. From a pinned top support allowing rotation to a fixed base preventing all movement, these detailed illustrations highlight how various boundary conditions impact a structure's stability, critical load, and dynamic response. Understanding these setups is fundamental for predicting how such elements might exhibit oscillatory or 'pendulum-like' vibrational modes under stress, offering key insights into their mechanical behavior.
