pendula
English
Etymology
From pendulum, by analogy with Latin second declension nouns, such as bacterium/bacteria, though Latin pendulum is the neuter singular form of the adjective pendulus, whose neuter plural is indeed pendula.
Usage notes
The form pendulums is significantly more common than pendula; however, pendula is occasionally used in physics, particularly in the phrase "coupled pendula."
