The Concept
A simple pendulum consists of a mass hanging from a string. When pulled and released, it swings back and forth in Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).
T = 2π √(L / g)
Key Takeaways:
- Length (L): Longer strings move slower.
- Gravity (g): Higher gravity pulls faster.
- Mass: Interestingly, the period does not depend on the mass of the bob!
