The volume of liquid in a container is given by v=(3h^2+4)^(3/2)-8, find dV/dh when h = 0.6

Chain rule: dV/dh=9h(3h^2+4)^(1/2)
sub in h=0.6 , dV/dh = 12.17

A pendulum of mass m is released from height h with a speed v at the bottom of its swing. a) What is the gravitational potential energy at height h and the kinetic energy at the bottom of its swing? b) Use conservation of energy to define the speed v.

a) To begin with we will calculate the gravitational potential energy at height, h. This is the result of the mass, m, being lifted through earth's gravitational pull, (approximated as g = 9.81 m/s at the...
