SHM - easy question!
Hi i know that this is probably an extremely easy and obvious question, but we are looking at pendulums in A2 physics and i was just wondering if there are any other factors affecting the period of a pendulum other than these:
- Length of string
- Mass of pendulum
- Shape of pendulum
Im not sure of angle of swing i assumed that any change in period would be negligible if the above factors are constant, but if I am wrong feel free to correct me and if there are any more, please add to my list!
thanx
