Why do grandfather clocks stop?
Often a pendulum clock will stop when it has been moved, bumped or even a too aggressive push to restart a pendulum. It is not broken, only out of beat. This only takes a few minutes to readjust and all pendulum clock owners should learn how as this will happen eventually.
Thereof, does weight affect a pendulum?
The location of the weight, not the amount of weight, affects how fast a pendulum swings. What's going on? When you add a weight to the bottom of the pendulum on the right, you make it heavier. But since weight doesn't change the effect of gravity on an object, the two pendulums still swing at the same rate. How does gravity affect a pendulum? Gravity is one of two main forces acting upon a pendulum at any given time, helping create the back-and-forth motion of the swinging weight.
What affects pendulum speed?
Explanation: The only two factors that affect a pendulum's frequency are the acceleration due to gravity (g) and the length of the pendulum's string (L). What slows a swinging pendulum down? A pendulum is an object hung from a fixed point that swings back and forth under the action of gravity. The swing continues moving back and forth without any extra outside help until friction (between the air and the swing and between the chains and the attachment points) slows it down and eventually stops it.
Can a pendulum be too heavy?
The weight of the pendulum is not linked to the clockworks; wheels, pinions, pivots, bushings, etc. Its entire weight is suspended from a suspension spring, and at worst if it is too heavy the clock will stop.

The advantage of a pendulum for timekeeping is that it swings back and forth in a precise time interval dependent on its length, and resists swinging at other rates. Most Pendulum clocks are kept for their decorative and antique value. Pendulum clocks have to be stationary to operate.
