Get started for freeThe analysis of a simple pendulum assumed that the mass was a particle, with no size. A realistic pendulum is a small, uniform sphere of mass and radius at the end of a massless string, withbeing the distance from the pivot to the center of the sphere.
a. Find an expression for the period of this pendulum.
b. Suppose, typical values for a real pendulum. What is the role="math" localid="1650084928460" ratio, whererole="math" localid="1650084943350" is your expression from part a androle="math" localid="1650084959286" is the expression derived in this chapter?
For a particle in simple harmonic motion, show that where is the average speed during one cycle of the motion.
A grandfather clock ticks each time the pendulum passes through the lowest point. If the pendulum is modeled as a simple pendulum, how long must it be for the ticks to occur once a second?
A block attached to a spring with unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of .What is the period if
a. The mass is doubled?
b. The mass is halved?
c. The amplitude is doubled?
d. The spring constant is doubled? Parts a to d are independent questions, each referring to the initial situation.
An object in simple harmonic motion has amplitude and frequency. At it has its most negative position. Write the function that describes the object’s position.
