CHAPTER IX.—PENDULUM. 244. Motion in a Vertical Circle. Let ABC (Fig. 188)represent a vertical circle, regarded as perfectly a particle to start from rest at A and slide down. toward B; its velocity (v) at any point M will be thesame (40) as if it had fallen through the vertical heightFF; that is, v* = (1) Since DMB and DAB are right angles, by geometry,MB* = , (2) AB2 = Di?.^. (3) Let ^45 = a, and MB == 2; also, D5 = 2r; substitut-ing these values and subtracting (2) from (3), a9 - z* = 2r (jE« - J7^) = % (4) 245.] SIMPLE PENDULUM. 253 Introducing the value of EFfvom (4) in (1), we obtain v» - I (a* _ z*)} v = ±yl (r^ _ *2). (5) For the point A (or A), z = a, and therefore # = 0;for B, z = 0 and v = ± a y —%, the double sign indicat-ing that the motion may be from A toward Af (+), or thereverse (—). For two points M and M9, equally dis-tant from B, BM = + ,*, and BM = - z; for boththese the value of # is the same, and for each there is a-f- value and a — value, according to the direction ofthe motion. It is evident that if the particle were pro-jected fro
