When the simple pendulum is displaced from the equilibrium position and the string makes an angle Q with the vertical equilibrium position, sketch the pendulum, showing where it is attached, the angle Q , and the displacement of the mass from equilibrium. Now also draw a free-body diagram showing all the forces acting on the mass. Determine the net force acting on the mass.
