Answer: A simple pendulum is a mechanical arrangement that demonstrates periodic motion.

Answer 2

The simple pendulum is another mechanical system that moves in an oscillatory motion. It consists of a point mass ‘m’ suspended by means of light inextensible string of length L from a fixed support as shown in Fig. 2.8. The motion occurs in a vertical plane and is driven by a gravitational force.
