Question
A simple pendulum has a length of 0.75m and a bob with a mass of 0.15 kg. The bob is released from an angle of 25° relative to a vertical reference line.
(a) Show that the vertical height of the bob when it is released is h = L (1 — cos 25°).
(b) What is the kinetic energy of the bob when the string is at an angle of 9.0°?
(c) What is the speed of the bob at the bottom of the swing? (Neglect friction and the mass of the string.)
