Problem

A pendulum of length 0.40 m0.40\,\text{m} is displaced by 0.10 rad0.10\,\text{rad} from its equilibrium position and released. Assuming the small-angle approximation is valid, what is the magnitude of its initial angular acceleration? (a) 0.98  rad/s20.98\;\text{rad/s}^2 (b) 2.5  rad/s22.5\;\text{rad/s}^2 (c) 9.8  rad/s29.8\;\text{rad/s}^2 (d) 0  rad/s20\;\text{rad/s}^2
