Problem

A metal bob is suspended from a rigid support by a light, inextensible string of length

0.80\,\text{m}

to form a simple pendulum. The bob is given a small initial displacement and released. (a) Calculate the time period of the oscillations taking

g = 9.8\,\text{m s}^{-2}

. (b) Determine the frequency of the motion. (c) Determine the angular frequency of the motion.
