Problem 15
A simple pendulum has a bob of mass m and a string length L. A horizontal rod bends the string at a point h = 2L/5 as measured from the equilibrium point of the pendulum mass. Determine the least value of the launch angle θ that will enable the bob to cross over the rod while preventing the string from sagging.
