- Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia
A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support such that it freely swings back and forth under the influence of gravity 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 towards the equilibrium position

Use a simple pendulum to determine the acceleration due to gravity \(g\) in your own locale Cut a piece of a string or dental floss so that it is about 1 m long Attach a small object of high density to the end of the string (for example, a metal nut or a car key)

A pendulum is a device that is found in wall clocks It consists of a weight (bob) suspended from a pivot by a string or a very light rod so that it can swing freely When displaced to an initial angle and released, the pendulum will swing back and forth with a periodic motion

Pendulum, body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity Pendulums are used to regulate the movement of clocks, because the interval of time for each complete oscillation, called the period, is constant
- Pendulums – The Physics Hypertextbook
A pendulum is a mass suspended from a pivot point that is free to swing back and forth Because the motion is oscillatory (a fancy way to say back and forth) and periodic (repeating with a characteristic time), pendulums have been used in clocks since the 17th century

The Equation of Motion A simple pendulum consists of a ball (point-mass) m hanging from a (massless) string of length L and fixed at a pivot point P When displaced to an initial angle and released, the pendulum will swing back and forth with periodic motion
