The period of a simple pendulum is T = 2π√Lg, where L is the length of the string and g is the acceleration due to gravity. The period of a physical pendulum can be found if the moment of inertia is known where the length between the point of rotation and the center of mass is L.

When a physical pendulum is hanging from a point but is free to rotate, it rotates because of the torque applied at the CM, produced by the component of the object’s weight that acts tangent to the motion of the CM.

Some have crucial uses, such as in clocks; some are for fun, such as a child’s swing; and some are just there, such as the sinker on a fishing line. For small displacements, a pendulum is a simple harmonic oscillator. A simple pendulum is defined to have an object that has a small mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a light wire or string.
