Displacement, Amplitude, Period and Frequency problem 17


A children's swing has a rope long. A boy of a mass of is sitting on the swing. At first, he oscillates slowly with an amplitude of , then he starts to speed up and add the energy of for each complete oscillation. What is the amplitude of his oscillation after ten complete oscillations? Think of the swing as a simple pendulum.
