3. A 3.40 kg bowling ball hanging from the ceiling on a long string swings from side to side like a pendulum. When it is at rest 15.0 cm above its lowest point on the left side, I shove it from rest with a force of 11.0 N for a distance of 0.350 m in the direction it is going. How high will it swing on the other side? (Neglect friction)
(26.6 cm or 0.266 m)
