A torsional pendulum involves a rotational motion where a mass is attached to a rod or wire and undergoes oscillations due to twisting forces, like a spring. A simple pendulum involves a mass attached to a string or rod that swings back and forth in a gravitational field. The main difference is in the type of motion - rotational for torsional pendulum and linear for 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 period is directly proportional to the square root of the length.
yes the weight of the bob makes difference
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
A compound pendulum is called an equivalent simple pendulum because its motion can be approximated as that of a simple pendulum with the same period. This simplification allows for easier analysis and calculation of its behavior.
To illustrate the graph of a simple pendulum, you can plot the displacement (angle) of the pendulum on the x-axis and the corresponding period of oscillation on the y-axis. As the pendulum swings back and forth, you can record the angle and time taken for each oscillation to create the graph. The resulting graph will show the relationship between displacement and period for the simple pendulum.
