ANSWER:

Step-by-step solution

Step 1 of 2

a)

The potential energy of the ball at its initial position = mgL.

Its speed at the lowest point of its path is given from the principle of conservation

of energy as:

We put v on the left side of the equation and everything else on the right side and we take square root of both sides and we get:
