Homework Statement
The differential equation of motion for the simple pendulum can be shown to be
##\ddot {θ} = -(g/L)sinθ##. Given that L=9.81 m and that the pendulum is released
from rest at θ=60deg, determine the time required for the pendulum to reach the position
θ=0deg. Use Δt=0.10s, and compare your answer with the analytical solution of 1.686s
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I guess I am missing something...
I need to compute θ value? How do I do that? Do I find θ by using x, L, s ?
