What are the conditions needed for an ideal pendulum? Check all that apply.

An ideal pendulum’s mass is pulled downward by gravity, and it swings about a frictionless pivot. As it passes through its equilibrium position, inertia carries it onward before gravity pulls it back. The rod or string is treated as massless, so its mass does not need to be evenly distributed, and tension pulls toward the pivot rather than downward.
