Figure 3 shows a diagram of a pendulum bob suspended by a string, showing its starting position (highest point) and its lowest position during a swing.
To find the gravitational potential energy lost, a student needs to measure the change in vertical height, Δh\Delta hΔh, of the bob.

Draw a vertical ruler on Figure 3, placed in a position to measure the change in vertical height, Δh\Delta hΔh, between the starting position (Position A) and the lowest position (Position B) of the bob.
