Question

A simple pendulum is released from rest when the mass is 33.1 cm above its lowest point. What is the speed of the suspended mass at the bottom of its swing? g= 9.80 m/s2 and ignore air restistance. No mass was given.

Step 1

Given data

The height from which the simple pendulum is released is calculated as hr = 33.1 cm.

The gravitational acceleration of the g = 9.8 m/s2.

Initially, the body is at rest, therefore, vi = 0

The velocity of the pendulum is calculated by the conservation of energy as,

KEi+PEi=KEf+PEf12mvi2+mghr=12mvf2+mghbvi22+ghr=vf22+ghb

Here, hr is the released height, hb is the bottom height.
