From here we proceed to power-law fits and getting an equation for theperiod versus length data, but we have this nagging problem about the angle

Subject: Re: measuring the period of a pendulum
Timing multiple cycles begs several questions, such as:
1) How does the period vary with amplitude?
(You KNOW it does!)
2) I can time multiple periods if I maintain the amplitude
but how does the amplitude stabilization affect the period ?
(You KNOW it does!)
Ah the delusory chase for precision...of what?
