Question

Suppose you pull a simple pendulum to one side by an angle of 5, let go, and measure the period of oscillation that ensues. Then you stop the oscillation, pull the pendulum to an angle of 10, and let go. The resulting oscillation will have a period about ________ the period of the first oscillation.

Explanation / Answer

For a simple pendulum untill the maximum angle displaced can be approximated by sin(theta)=theta.

Untill then the value of time period is independent of theta displaced. Therefore in both the cases time period will remain same.

Correct answer is 1) The Same as
