The factors affecting a simple pendulum include the length of the string, the mass of the bob, the angle of displacement from the vertical, and the acceleration due to gravity. These factors influence the period of oscillation and the frequency of the pendulum's motion.
A pendulum is not considered simple harmonic motion because its motion is affected by factors like air resistance and friction, which can cause deviations from the idealized simple harmonic motion pattern.
The motion of the simple pendulum will be in simple harmonic if it is in oscillation.
The time period of a simple pendulum depends only on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity, not the mass of the pendulum bob. This is because the mass cancels out in the equation for the time period, leaving only the factors that affect the motion of the pendulum.
For a pendulum, factors such as the length of the string, the mass of the bob, and the angle of release can affect the simple harmonic motion. In a mass-spring system, the factors include the stiffness of the spring, the mass of the object attached to the spring, and the amplitude of the oscillations. In both systems, damping (air resistance or friction) can also affect the motion.

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

Simple harmonic motion
A compound pendulum is called an equivalent simple pendulum because its motion can be approximated as that of a simple pendulum with the same period. This simplification allows for easier analysis and calculation of its behavior.
Some disadvantages of a simple pendulum include its sensitivity to external factors such as air resistance and friction, its limited range of motion, and its potential inaccuracies in timing due to varying oscillation periods.
