Begin with a diagram of the system, and definition of directions. Vertically up and clockwise rotations are positive. It must be recalled that in SHM force is proportional to displacement from equqilibriu...

Find the derivative of f(x)= ln(|sin(x)|). Given that f(x) has a value for all x, state why the modulus is required.

The derivative can be found by using the chain rule. i.e. let g(x) = |sin(x)|, so f(x)=ln(g(x)), hence df/dx = df/dg * dg/dx

df/dg = 1/g, dg/dx = |cos(x)| so df/dx = |cos(x)|/|sin(x)|

For th...
