Pegged Pendulum Minimum Drop Height Calculator

Calculate the minimum height from which a pendulum must be dropped to complete a full circle about a peg using the equation:
\[ h = \frac{5}{2}(L-d) \] where \(L\) is the pendulum length and \(d\) is the distance from the pivot to the peg.

* Enter all values in SI units. Note that \(d\) must be less than \(L\).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Pendulum Length, \( L \) (m):

Example: 2 m

Distance from Pivot to Peg, \( d \) (m):

Example: 0.5 m (must be less than L)
