Exercise 5: Approximating the Period of a Pendulum using the Binomial and Geometric Series
In this video I go over the formula for the period (time it takes to go back and forth) of a pendulum and approximate it using the binomial and geometric series. I first rewrite the pendulum period formula using the binomial series and given integral for sine^2n, and approximate it using the first 2 terms. Since all the terms of the series are positive, the actual pendulum period is larger than the 2nd order approximation. I then show that the binomial series form of the pendulum period is actually less than a geometric series. Thus we have an upper and lower bound for our approximation. I go over several examples and determine the % accuracy as well.
