Find the differential equation of motion for a gravitational pendulum of mass m and length a by using the fact that the torque of its weight relative to the point of suspension is equal to the time derivative its angular momentum. Solve this equation to obtain the equation of motion in the small oscillation approximation, by considering that initially the pendulum at rest makes an angle è0 with the Oy axis (vertical).
