Problem

A simple pendulum of length 0.80 m0.80\,\text{m} is momentarily displaced along its arc by 2.0 cm2.0\,\text{cm} and released. Find the magnitude of its instantaneous tangential acceleration at that position. (Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}.) a) 0.50 m s−20.50\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2} b) 4.9 m s−24.9\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2} c) 0.25 m s−20.25\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2} d) 1.2 m s−21.2\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}
