A Simple Pendulum consisting of a Mass M attached to a string of length L is released from rest at an angle α. A pin is located swings down, the string hits the pin. The max angle θ which string makes with the vertical after hitting the pin is?
Here mechanical energy is conserved. No work is done when the string hits the pin and partially wraps around it,because the part of the string that experiences a force is the part that is in contact with the pin, and is stationary.
initially and at max heiht velocity =0 => KE=0..........
