Pendulums

Physics - Mechanics

Set off a collection of pendulums of equal masses but different lengths and observe the pattern of their collective motion. Does it appear synchronised or random? Why does it sometimes look wave-like and other times not? Would we observe the same patterns if all pendulums were of the same length?
