Pendulum Mechanisms

In order to look at the mechanics of a pendulum I looked at an old metranome I used for playing guitar. The mechanism though it appears complex is fairly simple. Force is applied to the pendulum and under the third law which states action reaction. The pendulum will swing back and forth because of simple harmonic motion.The mechanism inside is to cause the clicking and sound that is made as the pendulum moves. In order to further understand it I photographed the inside and did a series of drawings to investigate. upon Completion of the drawings I began using different media such as chalks, paint, and print.
