Explanation:
pendulum has a small-diameter bob and a string that has a very small mass but is strong enough not to stretch appreciably. The linear displacement from equilibrium is s, the length of the arc. Also shown are the forces on the bob, which result in a net force of −mg sinθ toward the equilibrium position—that is, a restoring force.
Pendulums are in common usage. Some have crucial uses, such as in clocks; some are for fun, such as a child’s swing; and some are just there, such as the sinker on a fishing line. For small displacements, a pendulum is a simple harmonic oscillator. A simple pendulum is defined to have an object that has a small mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a light wire or string, such as shown in Figure 1. Exploring the simple pendulum a bit further, we can discover the conditions under which it performs simple harmonic motion, and we can derive an interesting expression for its period.
We begin by defining the displacement to be the arc length s. We see from Figure 1 that the net force on the bob is tangent to the arc and equals −mg sinθ. (The weight mg has components mg cosθ along the string and mg sinθ tangent to the arc.) Tension in the string exactly cancels the component mg cosθ parallel to the string. This leaves a net restoring force back toward the equilibrium position at θ = 0.
Now, if we can show that the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement, then we have a simple harmonic oscillator. In trying to determine if we have a simple harmonic oscillator, we should note that for small angles (less than about 15º), sinθ ≈ θ (sinθ and θ differ by about 1% or less at smaller angles). Thus, for angles less than about 15º, the restoring force F is
F ≈ −mgθ.
The displacement s is directly proportional to θ. When θ is expressed in radians, the arc length in a circle is related to its radius (L in this instance) by s = Lθ, so that

For small angles, then, the expression for the restoring force is:

This expression is of the form: F = −kx, where the force constant is given by

and the displacement is given by x = s. For angles less than about 15º, the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement, and the simple pendulum is a simple harmonic oscillator.
Using this equation, we can find the period of a pendulum for amplitudes less than about 15º. For the simple pendulum:

for the period of a simple pendulum. This result is interesting because of its simplicity. The only things that affect the period of a simple pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The period is completely independent of other factors, such as mass. As with simple harmonic oscillators, the period T for a pendulum is nearly independent of amplitude, especially if θ is less than about 15º. Even simple pendulum clocks can be finely adjusted and accurate.
Note the dependence of T on g. If the length of a pendulum is precisely known, it can actually be used to measure the acceleration due to gravity
Answer:
1. AMPLITUDE
Explanation:
1. The maximum displacement of a pendulum is termed as AMPLITUDE
2. Time Period- Time taken to complete one oscillation
3. One Oscillation- One Complete to and fro motion of the bob of the simple pendulum is known as the "ONE OSCILLATION" .
