Abstract: We show asymptotic, exponential stability of the equilibrium configuration, $smallL$, of a hollow physical pendulum with its inner part entirely filled with a viscous liquid, corresponding to the center of mass being in the lowest position. Moreover, we prove that every weak solution with initial data possessing finite total initial energy and belonging to a "large" open set, becomes eventually smooth and decays exponentially fast to the equilibrium $smallL$. These results are obtained also as byproduct of a "generalized linearization principle" that we show for evolution equations with non-empty "slow" center manifold.
