Question: As shown in the figure, a pendulum is made with a string and a bucket full of water. When the string is vertical, the bottom of the bucket is near the ground. Then, the pendulum is set swinging with a small amplitude, and a very small hole is opened at the bottom of the bucket, which leaks water at a constant rate. After a few full swings, which of the following plots in the figure best shows the amount of water that has landed on the ground as a function of position? *Note: This problem references figure(s): `image_question/F=MA_2024_06_1.png`, `image_question/F=MA_2024_06_2.png`*
