In summary: The equation is homogeneous. No particular solution. But then we can not replace, I can not find the solutionWhat do you mean by "cannot replace"? The homogenous equation has constants you have to adapt to the initial conditions. That will give you the solution you...I'm not sure how that would work. Can you explain a bit more?I'm not sure how that would work. Can you explain a bit more?

And now, knowing A and B I have the solution for cos(θ/2)
So theta becomes ...?

Bingo!

Or even simpler
$$
T= 4\pi \sqrt{\frac{a}{g}}
