Question

The bob of a simple pendulum is pulled an angle of 10° to the side as shown in the diagram below. The bob is then released and oscillates in simple harmonic motion. If the mass of the bob is 2.50 kg, what is the maxiumum restoring force it experiences? Use g= 9.80 m/s2.

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER :)

As for the simple pendulum, the restoring force of the physical pendulum is the force of gravity. With the simple pendulum, the force of gravity acts on the center of the pendulum bob. ... The force of gravity acts on the center of mass (CM) and provides the restoring force that causes the object to oscillate.
