Homework Statement
A physical pendulum oscillates through small angles about the vertical with the angle, measured in radians, obeying the differential equation d2θ/dt2 = -4πθ. What is the period of the oscillation?
Homework Equations
T = 2π √(L/g)
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted to integrate twice which should give me θ. This did not work, though, because the acceleration is defined by θ.
Thanks!
