Olympiad: forces, floating and machines ★★★, sentence 14

A pendulum four times as long takes twice as long to swing, so a clock that runs slow is mended by moving the weight up to shorten the pendulum.

Who acts: pendulum, clock · What happens: take, swing, run, mend, move up, shorten · To what, where: clock, weight, pendulum

This is a sentence of the lesson «Olympiad: forces, floating and machines ★★★» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (pendulum, clock), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R7-rel-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
