- A ball with a mass of 240 g is tied to a light string that has a length of 2.80 m. The end of the string is tied to a hook, and the ball hangs motionless below the hook. Keeping the string taut, you move the ball back and up until it is a vertical distance of 1.08 m above its equilibrium point. You then release the ball from rest, and it oscillates back and forth, pendulum style. As usual, we will neglect air resistance. Use g = 9.80 m/s2. (a) What is the highest speed the ball achieves in its subsequent motion? m/s (b) What is the maximum height the ball reaches in its subsequent motion (measured from its equilibrium position)?
