Question

A pendulum consists of a swinging mass hanging from a massless string. The hanging mass is 2.0 kg and the string is 400.0 cm long. If the mass has a speed of 8.0 m/s when it passes the lowest point of its swing, a) what is the speed when the string makes an angle of 60.0o with the vertical direction? b) What is the maximum angle that the string will make with the vertical direction during its swing?
