The maximum displacement angle of the bob is 13⁰.
The given parameters;
- Length of the pendulum, L = 1.25 m
- Initial velocity of the bob, v = 0.8 m/s
The maximum displacement of the bob is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy;
[tex]P.E = K.E\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{0.8^2}{2\times 10} \\\\h = 0.032 \ m[/tex]
The maximum displacement angle is calculated as follows;
[tex]cos \theta = \frac{L-h}{L} \\\\cos \theta = \frac{1.25 - 0.032}{1.25} \\\\\cos \theta = \frac{1.218}{1.25} \\\\cos \theta = 0.9744\\\\\theta = cos^{-1}(0.9744)\\\\\theta = 13\ ^0[/tex]
Thus, the maximum displacement angle of the bob is 13⁰.
