    When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released, the restoring force acting on the pendulum's mass causes it to oscillate about the equilibrium position, swinging back and forth. The acceleration of the pendulum has components both tangent and normal to the arc of the pendulum due to the centripetal acceleration, which is always directed along the pendulum toward the center of rotation. To determine the acceleration due to gravity using a simple pendulum, you can measure the time period T for one oscillation using a stopwatch, determine the length L of the pendulum, and divide the length L by the square of the time period T.
