Simple pendulum Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MH-12697
The Simple Pendulum by Educational Instrument India is a practical physics laboratory apparatus designed to demonstrate oscillatory motion, periodic motion, time period, frequency, amplitude, and acceleration due to gravity. It is an essential teaching aid for school physics labs, college laboratories, STEM classrooms, and educational training institutes.
A simple pendulum consists of a small bob suspended by a string from a fixed support. When the bob is displaced slightly and released, it moves back and forth about its mean position in a regular pattern. This apparatus helps students understand how pendulum length affects the time period and how gravity influences oscillatory motion.

How to Use Simple Pendulum
Place the simple pendulum apparatus on a flat and stable laboratory table.
Attach the pendulum bob securely to the string.
Fix the string to the support stand using a clamp or hook.
Measure the length of the pendulum from the point of suspension to the centre of the bob.
Displace the bob slightly from its mean position and release it gently without pushing.
Use a stopwatch or digital timer to record the time taken for a fixed number of oscillations.
Calculate the time period by dividing the total time by the number of oscillations.
Repeat the experiment with different pendulum lengths and compare the readings.
Use the observations to understand the relationship between pendulum length and time period.
After use, stop the pendulum carefully and store the apparatus safely.
Educational Applications
The Simple Pendulum is widely used in physics education to explain oscillation, periodic motion, and simple harmonic motion. It helps students understand how a restoring force brings the bob back toward its mean position and how the time period changes with pendulum length. This apparatus is also useful for studying frequency, amplitude, gravitational acceleration, and energy transformation during motion.
