A simple pendulum, ideally consists of a large mass suspended from a fixed point by an inelastic light string. These ensure that the length of the pendulum from the point of suspension to its centre of mass is constant.
If the pendulum is given a small initial displacement, it undergoes simple harmonic motion (SHM). Such motion is periodic, that is, the time period for oscillations are the same.

Does a short or a long pendulum have a longer period?
The time of swing of a pendulum is T = 2π √ (l/g) where l is the length of the pendulum. As T ∝√l (Time is directly proportional to the square root of l) then, the longer the pendulum, the greater is the period. Therefore longer pendulums have longer periods than shorter pendulums.
Why you cannot take time period of simple pendulum as a standard time period?
Because length of the pendulum which is equal to distance between the point of suspension and g is the gravitational acceleration and a body repeats its to and fro motion in equal interval of time that's why we cant take standard time period.
The length of second pendulum is equal to?
1.0002m
How does the length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
Relationship between period of pendulum and length?
The longer a pendulum is, the more time it takes a pendulum takes to complete a period of time. If a clock is regulated by a pendulum and it runs fast, you can make it run slower by making the pendulum longer. Likewise, if the clock runs slow, you can make your clock run faster by making the pendulum shorter. (What a pendulum actually does is measure the ratio between time and gravity at a particular location, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.)
What is differences between time period and simple pendulum?
A time period is a measure of a basic phenomenon : the passage of time. Time periods are independent of human beings or even of life of any form. A simple pendulum is a man-made device to make approximate measurements of time periods.

How do you do a science fair project on a baseball pendulum?
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.
Why you cannot take time period of simple pendulum as a standard time period?
Because length of the pendulum which is equal to distance between the point of suspension and g is the gravitational acceleration and a body repeats its to and fro motion in equal interval of time that's why we cant take standard time period.
What the time periods of a simple pendulum at equator of the earth?
For small swings of a mass suspended on a weightless string, the period is given by T = 2 pi sqrt (a/g) where a is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent 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.
The length of second pendulum is equal to?
1.0002m
What is the pendulum used for?
the pendulum is used to tell time
How does the length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
If pendulum is made to swing in water compare the time taken for this pendulum to come to a complete stop with the time taken by a pendulum swinging in air?
The pendulum will take more time in air to stop completely in comparision with water
The time for a complete to-and-fro swing of a pendulum is called its frequency?
No, that's called its "period". The frequency is numerically equal to the period's reciprocal.
The fact that the revolution of the Earth sweeps out equal areas during two time periods of equal duration is a consequence of?
the equal area law.
