Randall D. Knight β Oscillations: Problem 59
Orangutans can move by brachiation, swinging like a pendulum beneath successive handholds. If an orangutan has arms that are 0.90 m long and repeatedly swings to a 20Β° angle, taking one swing after another, estimate its speed of forward motion in m/s. While this is somewhat beyond the range of validity of the small-angle approximation, the standard results for a pendulum are adequate for making an estimate.
