A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so it can swing freely. The period of swing of a simple pendulum depends on its length (how far the mass is from the pivot) and is is independent of the mass of the weight. This means that you do not need to worry about the weight except to say that it must be heavy enough not to be disturbed by air currents.

How much time it take if the pendulum is relesed at angle 1.75 degrees instead of 3.5 degrees?

The period of the pendulum is unchanged by the angle of swing. See link.


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.


Can you use simple pendulum in moon?

Yes. The period of the pendulum (the time it takes it swing back and forth once) depends on the length of the pendulum, and also on how strong gravity is. The moon is much smaller and less massive than the earth, and as a result, gravity is considerably weaker. This would make the period of a pendulum longer on the moon than the period of the same pendulum would be on earth.
