Want this question answered?
1. Length of the pendulum 2. acceleration due to gravity at that place
time taken by pendulum/to complete 1 oscillation
If you're thinking about a pendulum but not mentioning it, then no, it doesn't
The weight of the bob will determine how long the pendulum swings before coming to rest in the absence of applied forces. The period, or time of 1 oscillation, is determined only by the length of the 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.
Mass oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (m/k) Pendulum oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (l/g)
T=1/f .5=1/f f=2
The period of a simple pendulum of length 20cm took 120 seconds to complete 40 oscillation is 0.9.
1. Length of the pendulum 2. acceleration due to gravity at that place
You mean the length? We can derive an expression for the period of oscillation as T = 2pi ./(l/g) Here l is the length of the pendulum. So as length is increased by 4 times then the period would increase by 2 times.
Time period per oscillation=32/ 20=1.6 sec per oscillation.
time taken by pendulum/to complete 1 oscillation
The period increases too.

Same as it was in 1751, and same as it will be in 2051. Here is a link to an overview of pendulum calculations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mathematics)
