16.4: The Simple Pendulum
Figure 16.4.1 16.4. 1: A simple pendulum has a small-diameter bob and a string that has a very small mass but is strong enough not to stretch appreciably. The linear displacement from equilibrium is s s, the length of the arc. Also shown are the forces on the bob, which result in a net force of - mgsinθ m g s i n θ toward the equilibrium ...
