In physics, for a pendulum with length L and initial angle A, its horizontal >displacement X(T) at time T is given by the formula X(T) = L × cos(A × cos(T × √9.8/L)) - L × cos(A)
Write a program which takes two lines of input; the first line is L and the >second line is A. The output should be ten lines, giving the values of X(0), >X(1), X(2), ..., X(9). For example, if the first line of input is 53.1 and the >second line of input is 0.8, then the first line of output is 0.0 and the second >line of output is 53.1*cos(0.8*cos(1*√9.8/53.1)) - 53.1*cos(0.8) ~ 2.6689.
import math
L = float(input())
A = float(input())
for T in range (0,9):
print(L*math.cos(A*math.cos(T*math.sqrt(9.8/L))-L*math.cos(A)))
i have written this and i cant understand what am i doing wrong ?
input :
53.1
0.8
my output:
3.545012155898153

You have a bracket in the wrong place, change
L*math.cos(A*math.cos(T*math.sqrt(9.8/L))-L*math.cos(A))
to
L*math.cos(A*math.cos(T*math.sqrt(9.8/L)))-L*math.cos(A)
This gave the correct output on my pc
Edit:
also change range(0,9) to range(10)
