56. For simple harmonic motion, Eq. 16-24 must reduce to

where θ is in radians. We take the percent difference (in absolute value)

and set this equal to 0.010 (corresponding to 1.0%). In order to solve for θ (since this is not possible
“in closed form”), several approaches are available. Some calculators have built-in numerical routines
to facilitate this, and most math software packages have this capability. Alternatively, we could expand
sin θ

/6 (valid for small θ) and thereby find an approximate solution (which, in turn, might

provide a seed value for a numerical search). Here we show the latter approach:

which leads to θ

. A more accurate value (found numerically) for the

θ value which results in a 1.0% deviation is 13.986
