In the case of a pendulum it is gravity that generates a torque opposite to the mass leaving the resting point. However, the torque is not proportional to the angle, there being a non-linear relationship which makes the movement more complex.



Since the torque is not proportional to the angle, the oscillation frequency depends on the amplitude, which makes it difficult to apply it to mark the passage on a clock. However, the effect is minimal if the angle is small which leads to the application of the pendulum on clocks is achieved with long bars.
