The concepts used to solve this problem are the conservation of mechanical energy in a simple pendulum.
Initially, use the concept of conservation of mechanical energy to find the potential energy and rank the potential energy that is equated to kinetic energy in the descending order.
Finally, use the expression for velocity of a simple pendulum and rank the velocities from the highest to lowest order.
A simple pendulum is the one that can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or a rod of negligible mass.
In a simple pendulum with no friction, the total mechanical energy is conserved.
The total mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. Therefore, as the pendulum swings back and forth, there is a constant exchange between the kinetic and potential energies.
Therefore,
Here, is the mass of the pendulum bob, is the acceleration due to gravity, is the length of the pendulum, and is the velocity of the pendulum.
