Problem

A simple pendulum of length

1.5\,\text{m}

oscillates with small amplitude. At an instant when its angular displacement is

3.0^{\circ}

, what is the magnitude of the bob’s linear acceleration? (Use

g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^{2}

.) a)

7.7 \times 10^{-1}\,\text{m/s}^{2}

5.1 \times 10^{-1}\,\text{m/s}^{2}

9.8\,\text{m/s}^{2}

3.4 \times 10^{-1}\,\text{m/s}^{2}
