Simple Pendulum

Explore the harmonic motion of a pendulum. Adjust the rope length, gravity, and bob mass to see their effects on the period.

String Length (L) 1.5 m

Gravity (g) 9.8 m/s²

Bob Mass (m) 1.0 kg

Damping 0.05

Period (T) ... s

Angle (θ) 0.00°

Angular Vel (ω) 0.00 rad/s

θ'' = −(g/L) sin θ

T ≈ 2π √(L/g)

E = KE + PE
