How does the amplitude of the pendulum affect the pendulum?
It messes up the math. For large amplitude swings, the simple relation that the period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum (only, assuming constant gravity) no longer holds. Specifically, the period increases with increasing amplitude.
The amplitude of the pendulum?
The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between its equilibrium point and the farthest point that it reaches during each oscillation.
The amplitude of a pendulum is doubled what does this mean?
The pendulum swings twice as far.
The amplitude of a pendulum is doubled this means?
That if the original amplitude was A then it is now 2*A.
Why degree of amplitude of simple pendulum should not exceed 5?
wind resistance cannot be ignored in considering a simple pendulum. The wind resistance will be proportional to a higher power of the velocity of the pendulum. A small arc of the pendulum will lessen this effect. You could demonstrate this effect for yourself. A piece of paper attached to the pendulum will add to the wind resistance, and you can measure the period both with and without the paper.
