Find the angle in radians through which a pendulum swings if its length is \(75\) cm and the tip describes an arc of length \(10\) cm.

Solution:

We know:

\[ s=r\theta \]

Given:

\[ s=10 \text{ cm} \]

\[ r=75 \text{ cm} \]

Using,

\[ \theta=\frac{s}{r} \]

\[ \theta=\frac{10}{75} \]

\[ \theta=\frac{2}{15} \]

Therefore, the angle through which the pendulum swings is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{2}{15} \text{ radians}} \]
