Thank you! But, I'm still confused. How do I set it up? Once I get it setup I can solve it.

I have no idea. I am supposed to be in an introductory course and it doesn't seem to be that way. On top of that it's an online course.

well, gravity is pulling down on it and the acceleration is from when it was swinging, so it's swining back to the right.

Homework Statement The tallest spot on Earth is Mt. Everest. But another well-known mountain is the Mont Blanc, European Alps, which is 4807 m above sea level. If the radius of the Earth to sea level is 6367 km, how much does the gravitational field strength change between the sea level value...

The force right after the cut is U. The path of M is O and the acceleration is X?

If tension is removed then it's only gravity acting on it, correct?

Well, I think that the force is moving in the direction of T and then the acceleration is moving in the direction of X?

Here is the problem and I have attached the picture: A simple pendulum consists of a mass m tied to a string. It swings freely within the limits indicated in the figure below. On a swing from left to right, the string is cut suddenly just as the pendulum is vertical. Select the letters that...
