An engineer has an odd-shaped object and needs to find its rotational inertia about an axis through its center of mass. The object is supported on a wire stretched along the desired axis. The wire has a torsion constant, . If this torsion pendulum oscillates throughcycles in, what is the rotational inertia of the object?
What is the length of a simple pendulum whose full swing from left to right and then back again takes 3.2 S?
In Fig. 15-64, a 2500 Kgdemolition ball swings from the end of a crane. The length of the swinging segment of cable is 17m. (a) Find the period of the swinging, assuming that the system can be treated as a simple pendulum. (b) Does the period depend on the ball’s mass?
Although California is known for earthquakes, it has large regions dotted with precariously balanced rocks that would be easily toppled by even a mild earthquake. The rocks have stood this way for thousands of years, suggesting that major earthquakes have not occurred in those regions during that time. If an earthquake were to put such a rock into sinusoidal oscillation (parallel to the ground) with a frequency of, an oscillation amplitude ofwould cause the rock to topple. What would be the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the oscillation, in terms of g?
In Fig. 15-59, a solid cylinder attached to a horizontal spring (k=3.00 N/m) rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface. If the system is released from rest when the spring is stretched by 0.250 m , find (a) the translational kinetic energy and (b) the rotational kinetic energy of the cylinder as it passes through the equilibrium position. (c) Show that under these conditions the cylinder’s center of mass executes simple harmonic motion with period where M is the cylinder mass. (Hint: Find the time derivative of the total mechanical energy.)
