👉 In physics, a monoptote is a type of pendulum. It consists of two identical pendulums connected by a light rod or string that passes over a pivot point at the center of each pendulum. The bob (the object attached to one end of the pendulum) swings back and forth in the vertical direction, creating a periodical oscillation. Monoptotes are usually used for measuring atmospheric pressure and wind speed because they allow the measurement of low-frequency vibrations that occur over short
