Explanation:
A simple pendulum is a system consisting of a mass attached to a string, and oscillating in a periodic motion, back and forth, along an equilibrium position.
The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one oscillation.
The period of a pendulum is given by the equation
where
L is the length of the pendulum
g is the acceleration due to gravity
From the formula, we see that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass.
Therefore, the only 2 factors affecting the period of a pendulum are:
- The length of the pendulum: the longer it is, the longer the period of oscillation
- The acceleration due to gravity: the greater it is, the shorter the period of the pendulum
