Question

Dr. Chaos uses his watch to hypnotize unsuspecting citizens in attempting to rob them. His watch is a simple pendulum that he sets into simple harmonic motion. The length of the pendulum is 0.120 m, and the mass at the end is 2.75 kg. Use the equations below to model the motion of the watch when it is pulled back to a maximum angle of 3.00° and released.

s(t)  =  smax cos(?smpt + φ)
v(t)  =  −vmax sin(?smpt + φ)
a(t)  =  −amax cos(?smpt + φ)

Assume the initial phase is zero. What are the following attributes of the watch?

(a) period of motion
 s

(b) maximum speed
 m/s

(c) maximum acceleration
 m/s2
