?The figure shows a pendulum with length \(L\) that makes a maximum angle \(\theta_{0}\)

Chapter 7, Problem 42

(choose chapter or problem)

The figure shows a pendulum with length \(L\) that makes a maximum angle \(\theta_{0}\) with the vertical. Using Newton's Second Law, it can be shown that the period \(T\) (the time for one complete swing) is given by

 \({T}=4 \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{1\ -\ k^{2} \sin ^{2} x}}\)


where \(k=\sin \left(\frac{1}{2} \theta_{0}\right)\) and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity. If \(L=1 \ {m}\) and \(\theta_{0}=42^{\circ}\), use Simpson's Rule with \({n}=10\) to find the period.
