Pendulum is an object that‚ due to action of gravitational force‚ swings back and forth at a regular rate around a fixed point if it is pulled aside and let go. A simple pendulum consists of a weight hanging at the end of a string or wire. The path travelled by the weight is called the arc of the pendulum. The period of oscillation is the time it takes the weight to pass back and forth once over this arc. The length of the pendulum is the distance between the point at which the pendulum is fixed
