i figured out all these values and plugged them into the eqn i have:
A=1.96E-3 m^2 wire
Y=20E10
L=30m
Tension if it were at rest and bottom: T=mg=3924N
and got dL=0.03cm
but I'm assuming at it stretches the same if it were at rest or accelerating when at the bottom
how do i take...
so what other forces would be acting on the bob at the bottom of the swing apart from mg?
by what factor would the tension change at the bottom as compared to the top of the swing?
if you have a pendulum with a 10kg bob at rest, it causes a stretch in the wire supporting it, but if that same bob were to be let go at a certain angle from the vertical, would would the wire stretch more as the bob reaches the bottom of its swing where the speed is the greatest?
