The 8 pages that link to Simple pendulum, each with the reason it gives.

• Simple harmonic motionBroader topic: At small angles, its restoring torque produces approximately simple harmonic motion.

• PendulumBroader topic: This model isolates the forces governing a pendulum’s motion.

• Pendulum clockBroader topic: Its oscillation model explains why a pendulum can provide a regular timekeeping rate.

• Foucault pendulumNarrower topic: The Foucault pendulum applies this familiar motion on a scale large enough to reveal Earth’s rotation.

• Generalized coordinatesBroader topic: One angle describes its motion while automatically enforcing fixed rod length.

• Small-angle approximationBroader topic: Its small-oscillation period follows from approximating the restoring torque’s sine term.

• Elliptic functionRelated: At large amplitudes, its exact motion is expressed using Jacobi elliptic functions.

• Plumb bobRelated: A plumb bob behaves like a pendulum while swinging toward rest.
