Abstract (EN): The conical pendulum is a topic theoretically approached in physics literature, but with little experimental activity developed due to the difficulty of reproducing the conical motion in ideal experimental conditions. This work consisted of studying the motion of a rigid conical pendulum using video analysis. The experimental results were used as the basis to fit a theoretical model that allowed us to find the position of the center of mass of the pendulum. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
