... I agree with Ludwik that the conical pendulum does not have
an "amplitude" in the sense that amplitude typically means the
maximum deviation for an object oscillating through its
equilibrium position; and the conical pendulum rotates at
constant deviation from the equilibrium position rather than
oscillating through it. But unless someone can suggest a better
name for the angle of the conical pendulum, I am not opposed
to calling it an amplitude.
