Let A be the pendulum angle, which vaires sinusoidally with time. R is the pendulam length
R sin A = X
Xm = 2.0 sin 25 = 0.845 m is the oscillation amplitude (measured horizontally)
X = Xm sin (w t)
is the equation of motion
w is the angular frequency
w = sqrt(g/R) = 2.21 rad/s
Vmax = w*Xm = 2.21 rad/s*0.845 m
= 1.87 m/s
