Mathematical pendulum period (small angle)

period of vibration of a mathematical pendulum, within the small angle approximation

Also known as Christiaan Huygens's law

deterministic formula, dimensional formula, formula, nonlinear formula, static formula

MaRDI QIDQ6821439FDOCommunityMathModDB

Named after

Christiaan Huygens

Description

This relation is also known as Christiaan Huygens's law for the period of a pendulum. Note that under the small-angle approximation, the period is independent of the initial amplitude; this is the property of isochronism that Galileo first discovered.

Formula(s) and Quantities

$T=2\ast \pi \ast \sqrt{\frac{\ell }{g}}$

$T$ represents vibration period (harmonic)

$g$ represents gravitational acceleration

$\ell$ represents length of pendulum
