A pendulum consists of a small object called a bob hanging from a light cord of fixed length, with the top end of the cord fixed, as represented in Figure CQ7.5. The bob moves without friction, swinging equally high on both sides. It moves from its turning point A through point B and reaches its maximum speed at point C. (a) At what point does the bob have non-zero radial acceleration and zero tangential acceleration? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (b) At what point does the bob have nonzero tangential acceleration and zero radial acceleration? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (c) At what point does the bob have both nonzero tangential and radial acceleration? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point?
