MCM Newton's Cradle "Swinging Wonder" Executive Desk Game
About the Item
A very cool vintage MCM "Swinging Wonder" executive desk game, circa 1960s. This item is in very good vintage condition with original label and measures 9"W x 7"D x 9"H. The Newton's cradle is a device that demonstrates the principles of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy in physics with swinging spheres. When one sphere at the end is lifted and released, it strikes the stationary spheres, transmitting a pressure or sonic wave through the stationary spheres, thereby creating a force that pushes the last sphere upward. The last sphere swings back and strikes the nearly stationary spheres, repeating the effect in the opposite direction. The device is named after 17th-century English scientist Sir Isaac Newton and was designed by French scientist Edme Mariotte. Super fun piece for any executive needing a break at the office! #3418
