Length of pendulumn = L
Mass of pendulumn bob = m
Acceleration due to gravity = g
Relsove weight mg in directions perpendicular to the pendumn string, which is mg.sin(theta)
Hence, use: force = mass x acceleration
mg.sin(theta) = - m.a
g.sin(theta) = -a
multiply both sides by L
gL.sin(theta) = -L.a
If angle (theta) < 5 degrees, sin(theta) = (theta)
thus, gL(theta) = -L.a
But displacement x = L.(theta)
a.L = -g.x
a = -(g/L).x
Since (g/L) is a constant, the acceleration a is thus proportional to displacement x. The motion is "simple harmonic".
Hence, a = -(w^2).x
where w is the angular frequency, given by w^2 = g/L
But w = 2.pi/T (pi = 3.14159...)
T = (2.pi)/w = (2.pi).square-root[L/g]
