Question

If the amplitude of a pendulum is increased, how does it effect the time period of the pendulum?

Answer 1

In a simple pendulum, which can be modeled as a point mass at the end of a string of negligible mass and a given length, the amplitude is normally only a few degrees. When the amplitude is this small, it does not affect the periodof the pendulum. As the amplitudeof the pendulum increases, the period increases...

Answer 2

Answer:

The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on the mass or material of the bob of the pendulum. This is the law of mass. The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on the amplitude of oscillations, provided that the amplitude is small. This is the law of isochronism. If the amplitude is large, the motion is periodic but not simple harmonic.
