An example of a mechanical system?

An example of a mechanical system is a simple pendulum. The pendulum consists of a mass (bob) attached to a fixed point by a rod or string. When the pendulum is displaced from its resting position, gravity and inertia create a harmonic motion back and forth.


What is the term vibration?

The To and Fro motion about the mean position of any system is known as the vibration or oscillation. Example- A simple pendulum.

What is the advantages of compound pendulum over simple pendulum?

A simple pendulum is an idealized system. It's requirements like the bob should be a heavy particle, suspension string should be massless, perfectly inextensible etc. cannot be achieved perfectly. On the other hand a compound pendulum is a rigid body of any shape capable of vibrating about a horizontal axis passing through it(not through the centre of gravity), so it does not have such ideal conditions. Hence it can give more accurate result. ( I think this is the answer, may be there are other advantages also)


Why doesn't a pendulum keeps on swinging forever?

Most pendulums are operated by a spring, when the spring looses its tention it can no longer keep the pendulum swinging. Others may work on a different system but the system in not perpetual and will loose its ability to keep the pendulum swinging. As a point of interest you canot use a pendulum in space.

What is fiction how does it affect the swing of a pendulum?

A swinging pendulum follows a simple physical path that is described as simple harmonic motion. A frictionless pendulum would swing forever. Friction generates heat which radiates away energy from the system. Therefore friction will cause the pendulum to slow and stop as all the energy gets removed from the S.H.M. If you rig up a way to replace the lost energy, then the pendulum will continue to swing. This is the method used in a pendulum clock. The energy put into the wind up spring will replace the energy lost due to friction until the spring winds down. The key point is "energy is conserved" which means you cannot create or destroy it. You can only move it from one place to another or convert it into something else.


What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum does not depend?

The time of a period doesn't depend on the mass of the Bob(that'll be a mass spring system) It also doesn't depend on Friction..
