A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
The motion is likely not to be a simple harmonic motion as required for the formula for the period of a pendulum to work properly. The angle of swing is likely to reduce.
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
A Foucault pendulum is a pendulum with a large length which is free to oscillate in any vertical plane. At the equator, the plane of oscillation remains fixed relative to the earth. Elsewhere, the plane of oscillation rotates, at a speed that is related to the latitude of the location. In Paris, where Foucault's pendulum is located, the plane of the pendulum's oscillation moves at approx 11 degrees per hour. This movement can be used to tell the time.
simple pendulum center of mass and center of oscillation are at the same distance.coupled pendulum is having two bobs attached with a spring.
The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between its equilibrium point and the farthest point that it reaches during each oscillation.
The motion of the simple pendulum will be in simple harmonic if it is in oscillation.
Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
A simple harmonic motion is one for which the acceleration of the body into consideration is proportional its displacement from the mean position and the direction of the acceleration is always directed towards that mean position. It can be shown that, provided that the amplitude of oscillation is small, the motion of a simple pendulum is simple harmonic. All simple harmonic motions follow one rule F=-kx . When the oscillation is small(around 5 °), the motion of simple pendulum is simple harmonic motion.

Motion of pendulum.
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
T=1/f .5=1/f f=2
simple pendulum would have 1 normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies.
Mass oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (m/k) Pendulum oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (l/g)

You make a pendulum with a basbeall attached to an end of the string. you are testing the periods and oscillation movements of the pendulum.
