Determine its maximum angular displacement?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum angular displacement of a simple pendulum with a length of 1.53 m and a mass of 6.74 kg, given an initial speed of 1.36 m/s at its equilibrium position. The period of the pendulum is determined to be 2.48 seconds. To find the maximum angular displacement, the conservation of energy principle is applied, which relates kinetic and potential energy in simple harmonic motion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of simple harmonic motion
  • Knowledge of conservation of energy principles
  • Ability to calculate period of a pendulum
  • Familiarity with angular displacement concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of the period formula for simple pendulums
  • Learn about energy conservation in mechanical systems
  • Explore the relationship between linear speed and angular displacement
  • Investigate the effects of mass and length on pendulum motion
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of simple harmonic motion and pendulum mechanics.

Really Stuck here I've got the period but after that like i said I'm stuck

A simple pendulum having a length of 1.53 m and a mass of 6.74 kg is given an initial speed of 1.36 m/s at its equilibrium position. Assume it undergoes simple harmonic motion.
(a) Determine its period.
2.48 s
(b) Determine its maximum angular displacement.
