A pendulum is constructed from a 4.6 kg mass attached to a strong cord of length 0.9 m also attached to a ceiling. Originally hanging vertically, the mass is pulled aside a small distance of 8.1 cm and released from rest. While the mass is swinging the cord exerts an almost-constant force on it. For this problem, assume the force is constant as the mass swings. How much work in J does the cord do to the mass as the mass swings a distance of 8.0 cm?

pendulum of mass m= 0.8 kg and length l=1 m is hanging from the ceiling. The massless string of the pendulum is attached at point P. The bob of the pendulum is a uniform shell (very thin hollow sphere) of radius r=0.4 m, and the length l of the pendulum is measured from the center of the bob. A spring with spring constant k= 7 N/m is attached to the bob (center). The spring is relaxed when the bob is...
