simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling by means of a string of length  2.00 m. Now you start with the pendulum at 45.3 degrees with respect to the vertical, but rather than releasing it from rest, you give it a push downward. It swings to the other side and reaches a maximum angle of 56.6 degrees with respect to the vertical. What must have been the initial speed of the pendulum just after you pushed it?     2.45 m/s     4.20 m/s     3.41 m/s     6.30 m/s
