Question of the Day: AP Physics 1

In the lab, a student has created a pendulum by hanging a weight from a string. The student releases the pendulum from rest and uses a sensor and computer to find the equation of motion for the pendulum: 

The student then replaces the weight with a weight whose mass,  is twice as large as that of the original weight without changing the length of the string. The student again releases the weight from rest from the same displacement from equilibrium. What would the new equation of motion be for the pendulum?
