A pendulum is a weight suspended from a fixed point that swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. It is commonly used in timekeeping devices, such as clocks, to regulate and measure time intervals. The swinging motion of a pendulum is influenced by its length and the force of gravity acting upon it.

How to hypnotize a kid?

Well their are lots of stuff to hypnotize someone you may not even know it but you can hypnotize someone by your eyes voice and or use a pendulumn and swing it from side to side.

What will be time period of simple pendulum at the centre of the earth?

at the center of the earth, simple pendulmn has not any gravitational force(if we thought,the earth is an etended object) so at the center the gravitational acceleation is about 'zero' and that's why pendulumn's time period is 'infinite'.

Why does it lmprove accuracy of measuring the period if you time 10 oscillations and divide by 10 rather than timing one oscillation when conducting the pendulumn experiment?
