3. A 250-g is attached to a string 1.00 m long to make a pendulum. If the pendulum bob is pulled to the right, such that the string makes an angle of 150 with the vertical, what is the maximum potential energy

The maximum potential energy the pendulum can store is equal to the mass of the pendulum multiplied by the gravity, multiplied by the height of the swing, which in this case is 1.00 m. Therefore, the maximum potential energy of the pendulum is equal to (250 g × 9.8 m/s²) × 1.00 m = 2450 J.
