Class 11 Physics simulations · Oscillations

Simple pendulum

Set the length and release angle to watch a pendulum swing.

Open the simulation

What to notice

For small angles, the period depends mostly on length, not on the bob’s mass.

Key relation

T ≈ 2π√(L / g)

Try this

Double the length and see whether the period doubles.

What you can change

• String length: 0.5 to 2.5 m
• Release angle: 5 to 35 °
