Answer by user4552 for Does air resistance have a greater affect on longer...
Air drag typically increases approximately like $v^2$. The velocity of the pendulum scales like $L^{1/2}$. Therefore the force probably scales like $L$, and the work per oscillation like $L^2$. The...

If the experiment was carried out in a vacuum then air resistance would not play a part. For sufficiently small angles, the period of the pendulum is independent of the amplitude of swing. If the...

Does air resistance have a greater affect on longer pendulums than shorter...
I'm thinking, because longer pendulums travel for a greater time period through the medium of air, air resistance will have a greater affect on the pendulum bob (and string) and so the angle the...
