Question

what are differences between simple pendulum and physical pendulum

Answer 1

 The period and, therefore, the frequency of the simple pendulum depends only on the length of the string and the gravitational acceleration. The period and the frequency of the compound pendulum depend on the length of gyration, the moment of inertia, and the mass of the pendulum, as well as the gravitational acceleration.

• The physical pendulum is the real life scenario of the simple pendulum.
