At which point in this system does the pendulum bob demonstrate minimum potential energy?

A.
1

B.
2

C.
3

D.
4

Answer 1

The image is not available to provide a specific answer. However, in a typical pendulum system, the bob would demonstrate minimum potential energy at Point 4. This is when the bob is at its highest point in the swing, and therefore has the least gravitational potential energy.
