Sketch two cycles of the displacement-time (x-t) relationship for a simple pendulum. Assume that itsdisplacement is a maximum at time 0 seconds. Mark on the graph a time for which the velocity is maximum(labeled A), a time for which the velocity is zero (labeled B) and a time fro which the acceleration is amaximum (labeled C).
