Question: A simple pendulum, with mass (m=60 mathrm{~g}), and inextensible wire (L=120 mathrm{~cm}) long, starts from rest initially at an angle of (60^{circ}) to the vertical.

A simple pendulum, with mass \(m=60 \mathrm{~g}\), and inextensible wire \(L=120 \mathrm{~cm}\) long, starts from rest initially at an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) to the vertical. Determine the speed with which it reaches the lowest point and the tension \(T\) of the wire at that point.
