AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Simple Pendulum**: A simple pendulum consists of a mass (bob) attached to a string or rod of fixed length that swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. 2. **Defining Amplitude**: The amplitude of a pendulum is the maximum angular displacement from its equilibrium position. In this context, we are concerned with small angles of displacement. ...
