Homework Statement
A mass has a maximum speed of 1.905 m/s when it is at the lowest point of a pendulum swing. The lowest point is 0.5984 meters off the floor. At which horizontal position on the floor from the pendulum equilibrium position must a target be placed to hit the center of the target?
Relevant Equations
mgh=1/2mv^2
d=vt
Tried to find time in seconds in order to use the formula d=vt and find the distance in the x plane in which the target must be placed, to no avail.

Nevermind I found time from release to landing by using the formula t=(2dy/g)^1/2
