5. A simple pendulum is defined as an object that has a small mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a wire or string of negligible mass. When displaced, a pendulum will oscillate around its equilibrium point due to momentum in balance with the restoring force of gravity.

6. When the swings (amplitudes) are small, less than about 15º, the pendulum acts as a simple harmonic oscillator with period [Equation 1], where L is the length of the string and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

9. Simple Pendulum A simple 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 −mgsinθ toward the equilibrium position—that is, a restoring force. Free to share, print, make copies and changes.
