Question

Does the pendulum period depend on the angle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The period of the pendulum does not depend on the angle the pendulum makes with the vertical orientation.

Since If the angle is smaller the pendulum moves slower since the distance to be covered is lesser. For higher angles, the pendulum moves faster since the distance to be covered is more.

Therefore, the period of oscillation remains constant.

Hence, the pendulum period does not depend on the angle.
