I adjusted the numbers based on this demo:
https://sciencedemonstrations.fas.harvard.edu/presentations/pendulum-waves
Also, the lengths are physically accurate (assuming pendulums obey simple harmonic motion which they pretty much do at small angles)
Technically, the angle should vary as a cosine function (assuming the small-angle approximation), but due to CSS limitations it's instead a linear function
Using a piecewise linear function for the animation would be more accurate, but no one can really tell the difference anyways
