The period of a simple pendulum is T = 2 sec. At t = 0, the bob is shifted to the left to a maximum angle of -10° and then released from rest. The equation of motion of the pendulum is given by: e(t) = -0.174 cos (t + n) e(t) = -0.174 cos (ét + è) e(t) = 0.174 cos (2t + n) e(t) = 0.174 cos (t + n) e(t) = 0.174 cos (nt + n)
