simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling by means of a string and the pendulum has a length of 1.09 m.

Question
A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling by means of a string and the pendulum has a length of 1.09 m. Now you start with the pendulum at 10.3 degrees with respect to the vertical, but rather than releasing it from rest, you give it a push downward. It swings to the other side, and reaches a maximum angle of 34.2 degrees with respect to the vertical. What must have been the initial speed of the pendulum just after you pushed it?
