Question

A 215-g pendulum with a massless cord of length r = 1.00 m swings in a vertical plane (see figure). When the pendulum is in the two horizontal positions theta = 90° and theta = 270°, its speed is 4.20 m/s.

given 

(c) Find the magnitude of the tangential acceleration (in m/s2) for these positions.
(d) Draw a vector diagram to determine the direction of the total acceleration for these two positions.
(e) Calculate the magnitude (in m/s2) and direction (in degrees above or below the horizontal) of the total acceleration.
