Part A
Rank each pendulum on the basis of the initial gravitational potential energy (before being released) of the pendulum-Earth system.
Rank from largest to smallest To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

h = 60 cm m = 2 kg
h = 60 cm m = 1 kg
h = 30 cm m = 4 kg
h = 45 cm m = 3 kg
h = 30 cm m = 2 kg
h = 15 cm m = 8 kg
largest
smallest

The gravitational potential energy is defined by the equation U = mgh. Be sure that you are ranking on the basis of mass times height.
