The length of a simple pendulum is 0.80 m and the mass of the "bob" at the end is 0.31 kg. The pendulum is pulled away from equilibrium at an angle of 6.8 degrees and released from rest.
a. What is the angular frequency of the motion?
b. Using the position of the bob at its lowest point as the reference level, determine the total mechanical energy of the pendulum as it swings back and forth.
c. What is the bob's speed as it passes through the lowest point of the swing?
