A pendulum is a weight suspended from a fixed point that can swing freely back and forth under the influence of gravity. The motion of a pendulum is characterized by its periodic oscillation, with a constant time period determined by the length of the pendulum. The swinging motion is governed by the principles of harmonic motion and is widely used in various applications, including timekeeping in pendulum clocks and scientific experiments to study concepts such as gravity and dynamics. Pendulums are also employed in artistic installations and as educational tools to illustrate principles of physics and mathematics.
