Motion in a vertical circle: conservation of energy
Not what you're looking for?
A pendulum consists of a string of length L and a bob of mass M. The string is brought to a horizontal position and given the minimum initial speed enabling a pendulum to make a full turn in the vertical plane. a) what is the maximum kinetic energy K of the bob? b) what is the tension in the string when the kinetic energy is maximum?
