Question: In pendulum experiment, we assume sin() approximately equal to and derive T=2pi sqr(l/g) however if is bigger than 10 degree the period will change signifiantly

In pendulum experiment, we assume sin() approximately equal to and derive T=2pi sqr(l/g)

however if is bigger than 10 degree the period will change signifiantly

Angle (degrees) dT (s)
5 1.288
10 1.279
15 1.283
20 1.284
25 1.289
30 1.296
35 1.305
40 1.311
45 1.327
50 1.33
55 1.337
60 1.35

Graph the variation of the period T with the angle to comment on the features of the graph when the small angle approximation ie. sin =

is no longer true.
