Pendulum: Also defined as
Some treatments specify that, instead of a rod, the bob is suspended from the pivot by a cord.
The treatment is similar to that of the rod, but the behaviour of the pendulum when the bob rises above the pivot is different.
In all cases, the statement of the problem should define which arrangement is in effect.
