At rest, tension in the string and weight of the bob are the two forces both equal and opposite. During its displaced position, the weight of the bod, tension of the string and restoring force all the three would act on it
Could be the tension in the string from which it hangs.
A pendulum stops, because it gradually looses its energy on friction force and tension of strings. Even on the moon, where there is no air to have friction with, it will still stop, though slower, because there is still friction with strings and the string's tension.
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum displaced by a small angle is: T = (2*PI) * SquareRoot(L/g) where T is the period in seconds, L is the length of the string, and g is the gravitional field strength = 9.81 N/Kg. This equation is for a simple pendulum only. A simple pendulum is an idealised pendulum consisting of a point mass at the end of an inextensible, massless, frictionless string. You can use the simple pendulum model for any pendulum whose bob mass is much geater than the length of the string. For a physical (or real) pendulum: T = (2*PI) * SquareRoot( I/(mgr) ) where I is the moment of inertia, m is the mass of the centre of mass, g is the gravitational field strength and r is distance to the pivot from the centre of mass. This equation is for a pendulum whose mass is distributed not just at the bob, but throughout the pendulum. For example, a swinging plank of wood. If the pendulum resembles a point mass on the end of a string, then use the first equation.

no we cannot realize an ideal simple pendulum because for this the string should be weightless and inextendible.
Could be the tension in the string from which it hangs.
Air resistance against the bob and string and friction in the pivot make the amplitude of a simple pendulum decrease.
Simple pendulum is a term related to physics. A Simple pendulum coined as a single point mass which is held in suspension held from a string at a fixed point.
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.

According to the mathematics and physics of the simple pendulum hung on a massless string, neither the mass of the bob nor the angular displacement at the limits of its swing has any influence on the pendulum's period.
