How long must a simple pendulum with mass 2 kg be if it is to make exactly one swing per second? (That is, one complete oscillation takes exactly 2.0 s.) If the maximum height of the mass with respect to its equilibrium position is .5 m, what is the total energy in the system? (b) What is the velocity when the mass is .25 m above the equilibrium position?
