I need help with the physics question that I can't get correctly. (Pendulum)

OpenStudy (idku):

A pendulum is constructed by attaching a small metal ball to one end of a L=1.60-m-long string that hangs from the ceiling (see the figure below). The ball is released when it is raised high enough for the string to make an angle of 30.0° with the vertical. How fast is it moving at the bottom of its swing?

OpenStudy (idku):

Well, I wanted to apply \(v=\sqrt{2gh}\) So, I got \(v=\sqrt{2*9.80(m/s^2)*1.60(m)}=\sqrt{31.36~(m^2/s^2)}=5.6~m/s\)

OpenStudy (idku):

but the site tells me that I am not correct.

OpenStudy (malijhaa):

Um So Do Yhu Still Need Help?

OpenStudy (pucusana):

if i help you would you help me?

OpenStudy (idku):

yes, I do need help

OpenStudy (pucusana):

i think you might be correct 5.6 m/s try and double check

OpenStudy (pucusana):

i have a question

OpenStudy (pucusana):

try and find my question

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

little tweak! \(v=\sqrt{2*9.80(m/s^2)*1.60(m) \color{red}{(1 - \cos(30^o))}}= \dots\)
