The equation is:

T is the period in seconds, L is pendulum length in cm, g is acceleration of gravity in m/s2.
We know on earth the period is 1s when the acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s2, so the pendulum length is 24.824cm. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s2. Substitute 24.824cm for L and 1.6 for g and you yield 2.475 seconds.
The period is 2.475 seconds.

When will the motion of simple pendulum be shm?
The motion of the simple pendulum will be in simple harmonic if it is in oscillation.
Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent simple pendulum?
Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
A simple pendulum is 5.00 m long What is the period of simple harmonic motion for the pendulum if it is placed in a truck that is accelerating horizontally at 5.00ms2?

What will be the effect of time period of a simple pendulum if its mass is doubled and its amplitude is halved?
The PERIOD of a Simple Pendulum is affected by its LENGTH, and NOT by its Mass or the amplitude of its swing. So, in your case, the Period of the Pendulum's swing would remain UNCHANGED!
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)
When will the motion of simple pendulum be shm?
The motion of the simple pendulum will be in simple harmonic if it is in oscillation.
Is oscillation of compound pendulum or simple pendulum is perfectly simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
What is the motion of a pendulum?
Simple harmonic motion
What type of motion is associated with a pendulum?
Simple harmonic motion
Does a pendulum undergo simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion only for small amplitudes because for small amplitudes the motion almost reduces to a straight line motion. Simple harmonic motion means motion on a straight not on curves
The back and forth motion of a pendulum is called?
Simple harmonic motion
Why time periods is equal of pendulum?
A simple pendulum, ideally consists of a large mass suspended from a fixed point by an inelastic light string. These ensure that the length of the pendulum from the point of suspension to its centre of mass is constant. If the pendulum is given a small initial displacement, it undergoes simple harmonic motion (SHM). Such motion is periodic, that is, the time period for oscillations are the same.
Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent simple pendulum?
Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
How do the parameters of a simple pendulum affect the period of a pendulum?
The period increases as the square root of the length.
Effect of large angle to oscillation?
The motion is likely not to be a simple harmonic motion as required for the formula for the period of a pendulum to work properly. The angle of swing is likely to reduce.
