Answer:
a. 37.75°
b. 6.21 m
Explanation:
a. The horizontal force acting on a pendulum bob is given as:
F = mgsinθ
where m = mass of bob
g = acceleration due to gravity
θ = angle string makes with the vertical or angle of displacement
Making θ subject of formula, we have:
θ =
θ =
θ = 37.75°
The maximum angle of displacement is 37.75°
b. Period of a pendulum is given as:
where L = length of string
Therefore, making L subject of formula:
The string holding the pendulum has to be 6.21 m long.
