![**Pendulum Motion Exercise**
The pendulum shown in the figure sweeps out an angle of \(\theta = 12.5^\circ\) during its motion. How far does the pendulum bob (the ball at the end of the rope) travel in one complete cycle of motion if its length is \(r = 12.3 \, \text{cm}\)?
**Distance Calculation**
- **Graph Explanation**: The diagram depicts a pendulum with a rope of length \(r\) and a bob at the end. The pendulum swings at an angle \(\theta\). The angle is the measure between the vertical line and the pendulum rope at its extreme position.
- **Variables**:
- \(\theta = 12.5^\circ\): Angle swept by the pendulum.
- \(r = 12.3 \, \text{cm}\): Length of the pendulum.
To find the distance the pendulum bob travels in one complete cycle, calculate the arc length for each half of the cycle using:
\[ \text{Arc Length} = 2 \times r \times \theta \text{ (in radians)} \]
Convert \(\theta\) from degrees to radians:
\[ \theta \, (\text{radians}) = \theta \, (\text{degrees}) \times \frac{\pi}{180} \]
Then calculate the total swing distance by doubling the arc length. Enter your calculation in the box provided.
**Tools**
You may use the scientific tools provided for assistance in calculations (e.g., conversion, multiplication).
- **Distance Box**: Enter your calculated distance here in centimeters.
\[ \text{Distance}: \quad \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{cm} \]
This exercise is a practical application of the properties of circles and angles, focusing on real-world motion and calculation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc58cb787-7e9f-401f-bc3b-4d11a9fe5e2a%2Fdc7890c5-1632-4648-ab6c-70dd6ad50bff%2F2no04f_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
