Mathematical pendulum diagram

"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. ... A so-called "simple pendulum" is an idealization of a "real pendulum" but in an isolated system using the following assumptions: The rod or cord on which the bob swings is massless, inextensible and always remains taut; The bob is a point mass; Motion occurs only in two dimensions, i.e. the bob does not trace an ellipse but an arc. The motion does not lose energy to friction or air resistance." [Pendulum (mathematics).
