4 A particle is connected to a fixed point by a light inextensible string of length 2.45 m to make a simple pendulum. The particle is released from rest with the string taut and inclined at 0.1 radians to the downward vertical.
- Show that the motion of the particle is approximately simple harmonic with period 3.14 s , correct to 3 significant figures.
Calculate, in either order,
- the angular speed of the pendulum when it has moved 0.04 radians from the initial position,
- the time taken by the pendulum to move 0.04 radians from the initial position.
