Sympathetic swing
Two people should sit in the two swings installed here and both of their legs should be kept on the foot rest provided. First person should oscillate while the second person should be in rest.
What did you observe?
The energy of first swing is transferred to the second swing.
The science behind it :
The two swings act like two identical simple pendulums. The energy transfer takes place due to the resonance between the two.
