Question

What are the difference between compound and simple 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.

Answer 2

hey mate here is ur answer__
The main difference between compound and simple pendulum is that...
*In simple pendulum the distance between the centre of gravity of the suspended body and the axis of suspension is large compared to the dimensions of the suspension body..where as,
*In a compound pendulum is any rigid body that is pivoted so that it can oscillate freely.It has a point called the centre of oscillation
