Topic 4.1 Extended B – Pendulum system SHM

θ m. Topic 4.1 Extended B – Pendulum system SHM.  In its simplest form, a pendulum is a mass hanging from a string.  The mass is called the pendulum bob.  We initially displace the bob from the vertical by an angle θ m.  We then release it, and watch it oscillate in harmonic motion.
