Looking at the dynamics of a pendulum
Not what you're looking for?
A pendulum is released from rest at a displacement of .31 meters from its equilibrium position. It is stopped abruptly and uniformly at its equilibrium position and it is observed that a loose bit of metal slides without resistance off the pendulum and falls to the floor .95 meters below.
If the projectile started off with a velocity in just its horizontal direction, and if travels .22 meters in the horizontal direction during its fall, what was the velocity of the pendulum at equilibrium?
What is the period of motion of the pendulum?
