Q(iii)

 

(c) A mass m hangs on a string of length /
from a rigid support. The mass is pulled
aside, so that the string makes an angle 0
with the vertical, and then released.
(i) Show that the mass executes
SHM, stating any assumptions
made.
(ii) Prove that the period T of this
SHM is given by T= 2n
