- Write down an expression for the net force on a simple pendulum of the mass m along (tangentially to) the arc of motion in the gravitational field with strength g. Please use "*" (without the quotes) for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. For exponents (e.g. A²) use A*A or A^2 notation: thus A³/B should appear as either A*A*A/B or A^3/B. For greek letters use "theta" (without the quotes) and for trigonometric functions use "cos", "tan", "sin" (without the quotes). Thus for Acose use A*cos theta.
