= A pendulum consists of a rod of mass 1.80 kg and length L 1.00 m with a solid sphere at one end with mass 0.320 kg and radius 24.0 cm (see the following figure). If the pendulum is released from rest at an angle of 0 = 29.0°, what is the angular velocity at the lowest point? Axis A Part 1 + To solve this problem it will be necessary to first find the moment of inertia of the pendulum. What is its moment of inertia? Part 2 + What is the initial gravitational potential energy of the pendulum? Define the gravitational potential energy to be zero when the pendulum is at its lowest point. Part 3 What is the angular velocity of the pendulum at its lowest point?
