At rest, tension in the string and weight of the bob are the two forces both equal and opposite.

During its displaced position, the weight of the bod, tension of the string and restoring force all the three would act on it

What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum depends?

The length of the pendulum, and the acceleration due to gravity. Despite what many people believe, the mass has nothing to do with the period of a pendulum.


What are the disadvantages of simple pendulum?

The simple pendulum model does not take into account some factors that affect actual pendulums. It is a close approximation in many cases. The formulas are much simpler than the formulas for the actual motion of the pendulum. That's why it's called simple. But if the 'swinging angle' is too large the simpler formulas are no longer accurate. Also if the rod, which the pendulum is suspended on, has too large a mass in relation to the pendulum weight, then the simple formulas won't work.

How many forces are acting on a body which is at rest?

In most cases, when a body is at rest, there are two forces acting on it: the force of gravity pulling downward and the normal force pushing upward. These forces are equal and opposite, resulting in a balanced or net force of zero.

What does it mean to sat that the net force determines an objects acceleration?

There are many forces acting on a body. But, the moves because of the net force acting on it. So, we can say that the body accelerates because of net force acting on it only.
