Explanation:
<u>Simple Pendulum</u>
It's a simple device constructed with a mass (bob) tied to the end of an inextensible rope of length L and let swing back and forth at small angles. The movement is referred to as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).
(a) The angular frequency of the motion is computed as
We have the length of the pendulum is L=0.81 meters, then we have
(b) The total mechanical energy is computed as the sum of the kinetic energy K and the potential energy U. At its highest point, the kinetic energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is pure potential energy, which is computed as
where h is measured to the reference level (the lowest point). Please check the figure below, to see the desired height is denoted as Y. We know that
And
Solving for Y
The potential energy is
The mechanical energy is, then
(c) The maximum speed is achieved when it passes through the lowest point (the reference for h=0), so the mechanical energy becomes all kinetic energy (K). We know
Equating to the mechanical energy of the system (M)
Solving for v
