A pendulum consists of a 382.3 gram mass on the end of a 3.9 meter long string that swings back and forth. It is observed that when the string makes an angle 68 degrees from the vertical, the mass is moving at 5.7 m/s. If there is no air resistance, what will be the maximum speed of the mass, in m/s?
