Period: T2 = 4*PI2*I / MgD
T = period
I = moment of inertia
M = Mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
D = Center axis length
A simple pendulum, also known as a mathematical pendulum, has its mass concentrated on an object (regarded as a point mass) and its length remains unchanged.
A compound pendulum, also called a physical pendulum, can have any size or shape, but the size and shape cannot be ignored.
