Thanks. I realize it might be complicated so I was wondering first about the situation wherein the application of the force was hypothetically instantaneous at the equilibrium position.

Sorry, I forgot to mention earlier. Suppose that it was an instantaneous force that was applied. Also, suppose that the pendulum is a point mass and is where the force is applied.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. What are the limits of integration for this case?

Usually, the pendulum problems I encounter relate to initial velocity. What happens if, at equilibrium, I push a pendulum with a certain amount of force? (E.g. 10N) Is there a way to calculate how high the pendulum will go? I guess it's complicated considering torque done by gravity, etc

Oh. I get it now. Thanks so much! :)

Sorry, I meant the definition. I don't understand how the equation was formed. Could you please elaborate? Thanks :)

Thanks so much for the link. I understand the solution now. I just have one question. There was a part where θ was defined as r=r_{0}sin^{2}θ Where was this identity derived from?

When two objects, there is a change in the force they exert on each other due to gravity because of the change in distance between them. Therefore, there's also changing acceleration. How do I find the time it takes for the two to collide? Their final velocities? I've already looked at quite a...

Hi everyone! I'm just starting out on this forum. I have about high school knowledge of Physics but I'm always willing to learn. Hope to hear from you guys. :)
