    Solving for the Period of a Simple Pendulum with Given Initial Conditions

    Homework Statement [/B] A simple pendulum with l = 9.8m satisfies the equation: \ddot{\theta} + \sin{\theta} = 0 if \Theta_{0} = A Show that the period T is given by: T = \int_0^\frac{\pi}{2}\left(\frac{1}{(1 - \alpha \sin^2{\phi})^\frac{1}{2} }\right)d\phi where...
