| Aug 11, 2015 at 0:52 | comment | added | Floris | I will have to think about this. I believe the string is itself rigid so the bob is rotating even when the string is pointing straight down. But it's an unstable equilibrium, which should not be too hard to prove. Not the stuff of cell phones though. | |
