(Figure 1)A bob of mass mm is suspended from a fixed point with a massless string of length LL (i.e., it is a pendulum). You are to investigate the motion in which the string moves in a cone with half-angle θθ.
How long does it take the bob to make one full revolution (one complete trip around the circle)?
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables mm, LL, and θθ, as well as the free-fall acceleration gg.
