Describe a simple pendulum with a diagram. What kind of motion does it show?

Dear student,

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.



The repetitive to and fro motion of a pendulum is an example of periodic motion.
