In a simple pendulum, the oscillating mass has dimensions much smaller than the distance between the axis of suspension and the centre of gravity.
In a compound pendulum, the oscillating mass has dimensions comparable to the distance between the axis of suspension and its centre of gravity.
A torsional pendulum is an oscillator for which the restoring force is torsion.
In a compound pendulum, the oscillating mass has dimensions comparable to the distance between the axis of suspension and its centre of gravity.
A torsional pendulum is an oscillator for which the restoring force is torsion.
