A pendulum is made up of a metal cylinder of diameter d attached to a thin string. The pendulum passes through a photogate at the lowest point in its motion, as shown in the side view. The photogate measures the time t it takes the cylinder to pass through the photogate. Using this information, the mechanical energy of the system is obtained at its lowest position. The speed of the pendulum is calculated as dt. If the motion of the pendulum does not oscillate perpendicular to the photogate, as shown in the top view, how will this affect calculated total mechanical energy?.
