Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Question

The question asks whether the length of a simple pendulum is measured from the attachment point to the bottom of the pendulum bob. This is a true or false question.

Step 2: Define a Simple Pendulum

A simple pendulum consists of a mass (called the bob) attached to a string or rod of fixed length, which swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. The length of the pendulum is typically defined as the distance from the pivot point (attachment point) to the center of mass of the bob.

Step 3: Determine the Correct Measurement

In the context of a simple pendulum, the length is indeed measured from the attachment point to the center of mass of the pendulum bob. However, the question states "to the bottom of the pendulum bob," which is not the standard definition.

Final Answer

The statement is \(\boxed{\text{False}}\).
