The figure shows a pendulum of length L=1.25m. Its bob (which effectively has all the mass) has speed v0when the cord makes an angle 0=40.0with the vertical.

  1. What is the speed of the bob when it is in its lowest position if V0=8.00m/s? What is the least value that v0can have if the pendulum is to swing down and then up
  2. To a horizontal position.
  3. To a vertical position with the cord remaining straight?
  4. Do the answers to (b) and (c) increase, decrease, or remain the same if they areincreased by a few degrees?

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

  1. Length of string,L=125m
  2. Angle of pendulum with vertical,=40o

Determining the concept

Using the energy conservation law, find the velocity at the lowest point. So, according to the condition that least velocity is given, the string should be straight. Find the velocity at the horizontal and vertical positions. According to the law of energy conservation, energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Formulae:

i)Energy = PE + KE = mgh +12mv2ii) W = mg\hfilliii) Centripetal force, F =mv2r

where, KE is kinetic energy, PEis potential energy, m is mass, v is velocity, g is an acceleration due to gravity, x is displacement, r is radius, and W is work done.

03

(a) Determine the speed of the bob when it is at the lowest position and has speed.

From the geometry of the above figure,

h=L-L(cm)

h=L1-cos

Also,

T=mg=W

At the lowest position, the object has only kinetic energy. So, by the law of conservation of energy,

KE+PEany=KE+PElowest12mv02+mgh=12mv2+012mv02+mgL1-cos=12mv2v02+2gL1-cos=v2v=v02+2gL1-cosAfter plugging the values,\hfillv=82+29.81.251-cos40v=8.38m/s

Hence, speed of the bob when it is at the lowest position and has speed is 8.38m/s.

04

(b) Determine the least value that can be had if the pendulum is swung down and then up to the horizontal position.

Now, find the speed of the cord at the highest point. And, there is no kinetic energy at this point. So,

KE+PEany=KE+PEHorizontalKE+PEany=0+PEhorizontal12mv02+mgh=mgL12mv02+mgL1-cos=mgLv02=2gL-2gL1-cosv0=2gL-2gL+2gLcos)v0=2gLcos)v0=29.81.25cos40v0=4.33m/s

Hence, the least value that v0can have if the pendulum is swung down and then up to the horizontal position is role="math" localid="1663124831697" 4.33m/s.

05

(c) Determine the least value that can be had if the pendulum is swung down and then up to the vertical position.

Apply Newton's third law for the least velocity with which thestring should be straight.

From the figure,

T=mg

And at the highest point, role="math" localid="1663124974743" =180

Tension is force, and force is equal to centripetal force.

F=mvt2rT=mvt2r=mgmvt2=mgr=mgL

Again, recall the law conservation of energy,

KE+PEany=KE+PEtop12mv02+mgL1-cos=12mvt2+mg1-cos180v02+2gL1-cos40=gL+2g1-cos180v02+2gL-2gLcos40=gL+2g-2gcos180v02=gL+2g1-cos180+2gLcos40-1

After plugging all the values properly,

role="math" localid="1663125143709" v02=55.51

v0=7.45m/s

Hence, the least value that v0can have if the pendulum is swung down and then upto the vertical position is7.45m/s.

06

(d) Determining the effect of an answer of b and c if the angle increases

From the derived equation of,

For part (b),v0=2gLcos

&

For part (c),v02=gL+2g1-cos180+2gLcos0-1

The values of cosine are going to decrease as we increase the angle.

So, the answers in parts (b) and (c) will decrease if the value of 0is increased.

Hence, the effect on answers of (b) and (c) if the angle is increased is that the answers will decrease.

The block in Fig. 7-10a lies on a horizontal frictionless surface, and the spring constant is 50N/m. Initially, the spring is at its relaxed length and the block is stationary at position x=0. Then an applied force with a constant magnitude of 3.0 N pulls the block in the positive direction of the x axis, stretching the spring until the block stops. When that stopping point is reached, what are (a) the position of the block, (b) the work that has been done on the block by the applied force, and (c) the work that has been done on the block by the spring force? During the block鈥檚 displacement, what are (d) the block鈥檚 position when its kinetic energy is maximum and (e) the value of that maximum kinetic energy?
