Questions  

Why should the amplitude be small for a simple pendulum experiment?

a
Because T=2πL/g is based on the assumption that cosθ≡θ which is true only for small amplitude.
b
Because T=2πL/g is based on the assumption that secθ≡θ which is true only for small amplitude.
c
Because T=2πL/g is based on the assumption that sin θ≡θ which is true only for small amplitude.
d
Because T=2πL/g is based on the assumption that tan θ≡θ which is true only for small amplitude.

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Because T=2πL/g is based on the assumption that sin θ≡θ  which is true only for small amplitude.
