Question
A simple pendulum consists of an object suspended by a string. The object is assumed to be a particle. The string, with its top end fixed, has negligible mass and does not stretch. In the
absence of air friction, the system oscillates by swinging back and forth in a vertical plane. If the string is 1.10 m long and makes an initial angle of 26.5° with the vertical, calculate the speed
of the particle at the following positions.
(a) at the lowest point in its trajectory
m/s
(b) when the angle is 15.0°
m/s
