The simple pendulum model does not take into account some factors that affect actual pendulums. It is a close approximation in many cases. The formulas are much simpler than the formulas for the actual motion of the pendulum. That's why it's called simple. But if the 'swinging angle' is too large the simpler formulas are no longer accurate. Also if the rod, which the pendulum is suspended on, has too large a mass in relation to the pendulum weight, then the simple formulas won't work.
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
A simple pendulum has one piece that swings. A complex pendulum has at least two swinging parts, attached end to end. A simple pendulum is extremely predictable, while a complex pendulum is virtually impossible to accurately predict.
applications of simple pendulum
The simple pendulum can be used to determine the acceleration due to gravity.
A simple pendulum.
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 pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
The motion of the simple pendulum will be in simple harmonic if it is in oscillation.

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 factors that affect a simple pendulum are; length; angular displacement; and mass of the bong.
The physical parameters of a simple pendulum include (1) the length of the pendulum, (2) the mass of the pendulum bob, (3) the angular displacement through which the pendulum swings, and (4) the period of the pendulum (the time it takes for the pendulum to swing through one complete oscillation).
no we cannot realize an ideal simple pendulum because for this the string should be weightless and inextendible.
