A simple pendulum (mass 2.3 kg, length 1.2 m) is initially at rest. A 0.08 kg bullet (speed 21 m/s) is fired horizontally into the pendulum bob where it becomes lodged (i.e., inelastic collision). Due to the impact the pendulum swings back and forth with SHM. Find the magnitude of the angle (in degrees) from the vertical at a time of 0.38 seconds
