A simple pendulum consists of a particle of mass m on an inextensible massless string of length &. The kinetic energy of the system in Cartesian coordinates is given by T=m (x + y²) where x and y may also be expressed in their polar coordinates format as x = { sin 0, and y = - { cos 0 respectively.
