10. A pendulum consists of a bob of mass m attached to a very light rod of length L and negligible mass. The other end of the rod is fixed to a frictionless pivot. The pendulum is released when the bob is directly over the pivot. Find the force exerted by the rod when (a) the bob is at the lowest point, (b) 30 above horizontal, (c) 30 below horizontal. 10.
