Thanks jtbell, Is there an alternative equation of motion I can use to work out the velocity at each point given the constantly changing angular acceleration of the system? Or is it possible with method 1 to find the resultant velocity for other cases not just at the bottom of the pendulum...

Hello, I'm trying to develop a pendulum to test protective equipment so I want to work out the length I'll need to generate a desired velocity and the necessary mass I'll need for a specific moment of inertia. I know there are multiple ways to solve for linear velocity with equating Ek and Ep...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum, excited to geek out and learn more about physics and it's applications.
