The physical pendulum in Fig. 15-62 has two possible pivot points A and B. Point A has a fixed position but B is adjustable along the length of the pendulum as indicated by the scaling. When suspended from A, the pendulum has a period of. The pendulum is then suspended from B, which is moved until the pendulum again has that period. What is the distance L between A and B?

A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block (), a spring (), and a damping force (). Initially, it oscillates with amplitude of; because of the damping, the amplitude falls to three-fourths of this initial value at the completion of four oscillations. (a) What is the value of b? (b) How much energy has been 鈥渓ost鈥 during these four oscillations?
The amplitude of a lightly damped oscillator decreases by 3.0 %during each cycle. What percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator is lost in each cycle?
The function gives the simple harmonic motion of a body. At data-custom-editor="chemistry" ,
Figure 15-25shows plots of the kinetic energy K versus position x for three harmonic oscillators that have the same mass. Rank the plots according to (a) the corresponding spring constant and (b) the corresponding period of the oscillator, greatest first.
