10. Conservation of Energy / Motion Along Curved Paths / Problem 1
Problem 1

A block is attached to one end of a rope. However, the other end of it is fixed. Given that the rope's length is L and the block is released from the horizontal orientation of the rope, evaluate its final velocity at the bottom of its trajectory.
