Q1.) Consider a pendulum, consisting of a massless string with a mass on the end. The mass is held
with the string horizontal, and then released. The mass swings down, and then on its way back
up, the string is cut at point P when it makes an angle of  with the vertical. What should q be,
so that the mass travels the largest horizontal distance from P by the time it returns to the
height it had when the string was cut?
