3. Consider a pendulum, consisting of a massless string with a mass on

the end. The mass is held with the string horizontal, and then released.

 be, so that the mass travels the largest horizontal distance from P by

8. A vertical frictionless semicircular track of radius 1m is fixed on the

edge of a movable trolley as shown in the figure. Initially the system is
at rest and a mass m is kept at the top of the track. The trolley starts
moving to the right with a uniform horizontal acceleration a=2g/9.

dropping to the floor 1.3m below the trolley. (g=10m/s2)
