Answer:
A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. 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.
Kindly find the answer of your asked query. Simple pendulum is ideal pendulum consisting the string having negligible mass compared to the mass of the bob. But the pendulum used in the clock has mass of the string which is not negligible, but works as the harmonic oscillator of constant frequency.

Answer:Hii user....
Good evening....
Here is your answer.....
A simple pendulum is made up of a metal ball (bob) attached to a taut light
string, or thread, that is fixed rigidly at one end. The bob of the pendulum is free to oscillate. When the pendulum is at rest, it
is in its mean (equilibrium) position. When the bob of the pendulum is slightly
displaced from its mean position, the bob undergoes a regular 'to and fro' motion.
One such complete 'to and fro' motion is equivalent to 'one oscillation' of the
pendulum. One oscillation gets completed when the pendulum goes from one
extreme (initial) position, to its mean position, then to the other extreme position,
again to its mean position, and then finally back to the initial (extreme) position...
