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:
