Thanks jtbell,
Is there an alternative equation of motion I can use to work out the velocity at each point given the constantly changing angular acceleration of the system? Or is it possible with method 1 to find the resultant velocity for other cases not just at the bottom of the pendulum...
Hello,
I'm trying to develop a pendulum to test protective equipment so I want to work out the length I'll need to generate a desired velocity and the necessary mass I'll need for a specific moment of inertia. I know there are multiple ways to solve for linear velocity with equating Ek and Ep...
