hanging from it from yesterday engages in
simple harmonic motion when 20 J of
work is done on it in the downward

Simple Pendulum Guided Practice
Two friends in France use a pendulum hanging from the world’s
highest railroad bridge to exchange messages across a river.
One friend attaches a letter to the end of the pendulum and
releases it so that the pendulum swings across the river to the
other friend. the bridge is 130.0 m above the river. How much
time is needed for the letter to make one swing across the river?
Assume the river is 16.0 m wide.
