Clock Pendulum The pendulum in a grandfather clock makes one complete swing every 2 s. The maximum angle that the pendulum makes with respect to its rest position is 10°. We know from physical principles that the angle between the pendulum and its rest position changes in simple harmonic fashion. Find an equation that describes the size of the angle as a function of time. (Take t = 0 to be a time when the pendulum is vertical.)
