A simple pendulum whose length l = 9.8 m satisfies tire equation

(a) If Θ0 is the amplitude of oscillation, show that its period T is given by

 where α = sin2 1/2 Θ0


(b) Expand tire integrand in powers of a, integrate term by term, and find the period T as a power series in α. Keep terms up to and including O(α2).


(c) Expand α in a power series of Θ0 insert the result into the power series found in (b), and find the period T as a power series in Θ0. Keep terms up to and including 002).
