Q5. A simple pendulum consists of a mass of 0.23 kg on the end of a wire of fixed length. The pendulum moves with simple harmonic motion with an angular amplitude of 7.5° completing 60 oscillations in 75 seconds.

Calculate EACH of the following:

(a) the maximum linear acceleration of the mass; (2)

(b) the length of the pendulum; (5)

(c) the maximum linear velocity of the mass; (4)

(d) the maximum tension in the wire. (5)
