What do you mean by simple pendulum? Explain its time-period.
Answers
Explanation:
A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released, the restoring force acting on the pendulum's mass causes it to oscillate about the equilibrium position, swinging back and forth. The time for one complete cycle, a left swing and a right swing, is called the period. The period depends on the length of the pendulum and also to a slight degree on the amplitude, the width of the pendulum's swing.

Answer:clocks that measure time accurately made only after the discovery of the Greek scientist Galileo Galilei .He discovered that a huge Mass hung from a fixed point is made to swing freely IT ALWAYS COMPLETES ONE TO AND FRO MOTION IN EXACTLY THE SAME TIME. A simple pendulum consists of a a small mass called a bob tied to a string. Hope this answer will be helpful to you
