Calculate the period of a simple pendulum based on its length and gravitational acceleration. This calculator assumes small-angle oscillations where the sin(θ) ≈ θ approximation holds.
Enter your values below
Length of the pendulum string
Earth: 9.81, Moon: 1.62, Mars: 3.72
How this calculator works
Period equals 2π times the square root of length divided by gravitational acceleration. The period is independent of mass and amplitude for small angles.
