A pendulum consists of a solid sphere suspended by a string from a fixed point P, as shown in Fig. 3.1. [Figure 3.1] The sphere swings from side to side. At one instant the sphere is at its lowest position X, where it has kinetic energy 0.86 J and momentum 0.72 Ns in a horizontal direction. A short time later the sphere is at position Y, where it is momentarily stationary at a maximum vertical height h above position X. The string has a fixed length and negligible weight. Air resistance is also negligible.
