Problem
A pendulum consisting of an inelastic string attached to a mass is made to oscillate to and fro with a large amplitude.
(1) Outline the energy transformations that occur during one complete oscillation.
(2) How might your answer to part (a) differ if the string were replaced by an elastic string?
