Answer:

-7.072 °

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data, angular position is defined by

angular position = 17 ° cos( wt)

Where,

w is the angular frequency

w = √(g/L)

where,

L= length and g = acceleration due to gravity =>9.8m/s²

angle = 17 ° cos( √(g/L) t) ---->(note to solve your calculate should be in radian mode)

At t=0.35s

angle = 17 ° x -0.416

angle= -7.072 °

Therefore, the angular position of the pendulum at t = 0.35s is -7.072 °
