Solution

Let S be the length of the path described by the extremity of the pendulum.

Then S = r·θ

where r = 14 cm and θ = 18°

= `(18 xx pi/180)^"c"`

= `pi^"c"/10`

∴ S = `14 xx pi/10`

= `(7pi)/5`

= `(7 xx 3.14)/5`

= `(21.98)/5`

= 4.4 cm. ...(approx.)

Hence, length of the path= 4.4 cm. ...(approx).
