Chapter 14: Oscillations

"CHAPTER-OPENING QUESTIONS - Guess now!
A simple pendulum consists of a mass m (the bob) hanging on the end of a thin string of length L and negligible mass. The bob is pulled sideways so the string makes a 5.0 degree angle to the vertical; when released, it oscillates back and forth at a frequency f. If the pendulum was raised to a 10.0 degree angle instead, its frequency would be
(a) twice as great.
(b) half as great
(c) the same, or very close to it
(d) not quite twice as great
(e) at bit more than half as great."
