The length of a simple pendulum is 0.75 m and the mass of the particle (the "bob) at the end of the cable is 0.38 kg. The pendulum is pulled away from its equilibrium position by an angle of 7.2 degrees and released from rest. Assume that friction can be neglected and that the resulting oscillatory motion is simple harmonic motion.

(a) what is the angular frequency of the motion?

(b) Using the position of the bob at its lowest point as the reference level, determine the toal mechanical energy of the pendulum as it swings back and forth.

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.
