Question

When we looked at pendulums, we stated that the pendulum only exhibited simple harmonic motion if it oscillated through a small angle. What do you think would happen to the period of the oscillation if we use a large angle - would it get larger, smaller, or stay the same? Explain the reasoning behind your answer.

          When we looked at pendulums, we stated that the pendulum only
exhibited simple harmonic motion if it oscillated through a small
angle.  What do you think would happen to the period of the
oscillation if we use a large angle - would it get larger, smaller,
or stay the same?  Explain the reasoning behind your
answer.
