A simple pendulum of length L having a bob of mass m is deflected from its rest position by an angle and released figure 8 E16 The string hits a peg which is fixed at a distance x below the point of suspension and the bob starts going in a circle centred at the peg a Assuming that initially the bob has a height less than the peg show that the maximum height reached by the bob equals its initial height b If the pendulum is released with 0 90 and x L 2 find the maximum height reached by the bob above its lowest position before the string becomes slack c Find the minimum value of x L for which the bob goes in a complete circle about the peg when the pendulum is released from 0 90 0 IX
