The pendulum bob B has a weight of 5 lb and is released from rest in the position when θ = 0. Take r = 3 ft.
a. Overplot the tangential component of acceleration a, the normal component of acceleration an, and the total acceleration a of the bob i.e. overplay the acceleration plots in one figure for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 180. What is the maximum acceleration?
b. Plot the speed of the bob for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 180. What is the maximum speed?
c. Plot the tension in the string for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 180. What is the maximum tension?
