thanks for the reply, Im not sure I understood what you mean but maybe you didnt see what Im looking for.
imagine pic related except the pendulum swings 90° more, so it does a swing from the lowest to the highest position.
does it take a finite amount of time to reach the vertical position or does it never reach it ("infinite amount of time")?
If the circular arc was replaced by a different arc (constrained path the weight has to follow) then could the outcome change?
Which functions ould be the x-component of the weights position with time for some arc?

These are all mathematical problems because these perfect physical systems can be translated to finding ewuality snd inequality constrained paths and I find them interesting for their physical interpretation.
