A thin rod of length 0.79 m and mass 130 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing
like a pendulum, passing through its lowest position with angular speed 3.61 rad/s. Neglecting friction and air resistance, find (a) the rod's kinetic energy at its lowest position and (b) how far above that position the center of mass rises.
