A simple pendulum with a massless string of length = 40cm and bob of mass m = 1.18kg is released from rest at t = 0s with initial angle theta= 5.80° measured relative to the vertical direction. (a) What angle does the total translational acceleration vector of the bob make with the radial direction at t = 0.34 s? (b) What is the tension in the string at t = 0.42 s?
