Answer by Physics for Does air resistance have a greater affect on longer pendulums than shorter ones due to the greater exposure it has to air?

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 length was increased, the period would also increase, but this would not affect the amplitude.

Therefore, if the release angle is constant, the amplitude is constant.
