Q30.
Figure 7 shows the kinetic energy K of a simple pendulum versus its angle θ from the
vertical. The vertical axis scale is set by 𝐾𝑠 = 20.0 mJ. The pendulum bob has mass 0.30
kg. What is the length of the pendulum?

3.05 m
Ans:
θ = 100 × 10−3 rad = 5.73°
k max = Umax = mgL(1 − cosθ)
∴ 30 × 10−3 = (0.30)(9.8)(L)(1 − Cos 573°)
30 × 10−3 = (0.30)(9.8)(L)(1 − 0.995)
30 × 10−3
L=
(0.30)(9.8)(0.00499)
L = 2044 × 10−3 m = 2.04 m
