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.
The frequency of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. It is described by the equation f = 1 / (2π) * √(g / L), where f is the frequency, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum.
The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on the mass of the pendulum bob. The period does depend on the strength of the gravitational field (acceleration due to gravity) and on the length of the pendulum. A longer length will result in a longer period, while a stronger gravitational field will result in a shorter period.
The time period of a simple pendulum at the center of the Earth would be constant and not depend on the length of the pendulum. This is because acceleration due to gravity is zero at the center of the Earth, making the time period independent of the length of the pendulum.
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.

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 % .
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.
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.
The weight of an object depends on its mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The weight of an object can be calculated using the equation: Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.
Weight depends on an object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
If the mass is increased and gravity remains constant, the acceleration will decrease. This is because the force acting on the object remains the same due to gravity, but as the mass increases, the object will experience a greater resistance to acceleration.
