Law of Conservation of Energy in a Simple Pendulum A pendulum is hanging body from the fixed point which if pulled and then released will swing due back and forth. Consevation of energy states that the momentum of the body before oscillation is equal to the momentum after oscillation. If we go through simple pendulum experiment. At Initial point of pendulum total energy = mgh At intermediate point of pendulum total energy = 1/2 mv^2 At end point pf pendulum total energy = mgh Hence the conservation of energy in simple pendulum is given by ∑ (P.E_bO + KE_bO) = ∑ (PE_aO + KE_aO) Where P.E_bo = Potential energy before oscillation, K.E_bo = Kinetic energy before oscillation, P.E_ao = Potential energy after oscillation, K.E_ao = Kinetic energy after oscillation.
