Question

Explain the working of the simple pendulum.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A simple pendulum has a heavy point mass (known as bob) suspended from a rigid support by a massless and inextensible string. When the bob from its mean position is pulled to one side and then released, the pendulum is set to motion and the bob moves alternately on either side of its mean position.

solution

Answer 2

Answer:

A simple pendulum consists of a metal bob hung by a string connected to a pivot point. The bob oscillates in to and fro motion because of its mass and momentum. ... The number of oscillation the pendulum completed in one second is its frequency and the time required for one complete oscillation is called the time period.
