The mathematics of pendulums are in general quite complicated. Simplifying assumptions can be made, which in the case of a simple pendulum allows the equations of motion to be solved analytically for small-angle oscillations. Simple gravity pendulum Trigonometry of a simple gravity pendulum. A simple pendulum is an idealisation, working on the assumption that: . The rod or cord on which the bob swings is massless, inextensible and always remains taut; . Motion occurs in a 2-dimensional plane, i.e. the bob does not trace an ellipse. . The motion does not lose energy to friction.
