What are the key differences between the period of a pendulum and the period of a mass on a spring?

Pendulum: $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ , depends on length (L) and gravity (g). Mass-Spring: $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$ , depends on mass (m) and spring constant (k).

Compare and contrast the restoring force at the equilibrium point versus at the maximum displacement in SHM.

Equilibrium: Restoring force is zero. | Maximum Displacement: Restoring force is at its maximum.
