No, a torsional pendulum works with the restoring force provided by the elasticity of the support rod, or (in clocks and watches) by the spring on the balance-wheel.

What does the frequency of a pendulum depend on?
-- its length (from the pivot to the center of mass of the swinging part) -- the local acceleration of gravity in the place where the pendulum is swinging
What happens to acceleration if the mass is increased and due to gravity?
The acceleration of an object due to gravity does not depend on the mass. Close to Earth's surface, this acceleration is about 9.8 meters per second per second.
Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart?
No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.
Why is a pendulum important?
A pendulum isn't needed to illustrate gravity, and is seldom used for that purpose.It's much easier to illustrate gravity by dropping a book on the floor.But a pendulum is a very useful means of measuring the value of gravity in a place,because the time that a pendulum takes to swing back-and-forth once is very closelyconnected to the local value of gravity. It doesn't depend on the weight of the thinghanging at the end of the string at all ... only on the length of the string and the localvalue of gravity.
What 3 things does gravity depend on?
The force of gravity on one object due to another object depends on the mass of each object and their separation distance.

The relative surface gravity on earth is?
That's going to depend on 'relative' to what ?Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Earth, it's precisely 1.000, or 100% .Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Pluto, it's 16.822, or 1,682.2 % .
Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart?
No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.
Why time period of pendulum depends on length not other factors?
It does depend on the force of gravity where the pendulum is located. There are other factors that it depends on but their contribution, in normal circumstances, is negligible enough to ignore.
What will the time period of simole pendulum in free space?
Unless it's in a ship that is accelerating, a simole pendulum will not swing in free space. If it's in a ship that's accelerating, its period will depend on the magnitude of the acceleration.
What does the period of a pendulum depend on?
The length of the pendulum and the gravitational pull.

How does upthrust depend on accleration due to gravity?
it depends on acceleration due to gravity as f=mg, when acceleration due to gravity increases the force acting also increases.when force acting increases it cancels the upward thrust(buoyant force)so the body sinks in the liquid.
How does the acceleration of gravity depend on it's distance from the center of the Earth?
acceleration due to gravity is given by, g=GM/R2 Hence distance from the earth increases g decreases and viceversa. So g at poles is greater than g at equator.
Which physical property of matter does not depend on the size of an object?
acceleration due to gravity. it's the same for everything..... 9.8 m/sec
