Ml(d^2θ/dt^2) =-mgθ

Nata [24]3 years ago

The equation of motion of a pendulum is:

\dfrac{\textrm{d}^2\theta}{\textrm{d}t^2} = -\dfrac{g}{\ell}\sin\theta,

where \ell it its length and g is the gravitational acceleration. Notice that the mass is absent from the equation! This is quite hard to solve, but for <em>small</em> angles (\theta \ll 1), we can use:

\sin\theta \simeq \theta.

Additionally, let us define:

\omega^2\equiv\dfrac{g}{\ell}.

We can now write:

\dfrac{\textrm{d}^2\theta}{\textrm{d}t^2} = -\omega^2\theta.

The solution to this differential equation is:

\theta(t) = A\sin(\omega t + \phi),

where A and \phi are constants to be determined using the initial conditions. Notice that they will not have any influence on the period, since it is given simply by:

T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{\ell}}.

This justifies that the period depends only on the pendulum's length.
