According to the way they present their explanation I would conclude that in pendulums the amplitude would be independent of mass as well, since the restoring force is mgsin(theta), as well as this: period = 2 pi sqrt(L/g) = 1/f and acceleration and displacement are related by the square...

simple harmonic motion --> amplitude independent of mass? I know that acceleration is directly proportional to displacement, but opposite in sign, and that acceleration and displacement are related by the square of the frequency. But i was wondering if amplitude is independent of mass in...
