Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.

The power expended is 500 W
Explanation:
First of all, we start by calculating the work done by the man in order to ascend: this is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the man, which is
where
m = 50 kg is the mass of the man
is the acceleration of gravity
is the change in height
Substituting,
Now we can calculate the power expended, which is given by
where
W = 2500 J is the work done
t = 5 s is the time elapsed
Substituting, we find
