Question

State how does the time period of a simple pendulum depends on the amplitude of oscillation.

Open in App
Solution

The period is (approximately) independent of the amplitude of the swing only for small amplitudes. With careful measurements or at large amplitudes, you will find that the period of the swing actually lengthens with increasing amplitude.
