(a) What is the period of small-angle oscillations of a simple pendulum with a mass of 0.1kgat the end of a string of length1m?(b) What is the period of small-angle oscillations of a meter stick suspended from one end, whose mass is0.1kg?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The period of small angle oscillations of a sample pendulum is 2.01 s.

The period of small angle oscillation of a meter stick suspended from one end is 1.64 s.

Step by step solution

01

Define oscillations of a simple pendulum.

A pendulum completes one oscillation when it begins at one extreme position A, goes to the opposite extreme point B, and then returns to A. The time period is the amount of time it takes to complete one oscillation. The oscillation's time period remains constant.

02

Find the period of small angle oscillations of a simple pendulum.

  1. The period of small angle oscillations of a sample pendulum is,

T=2Ï€lg

Here, lis length of the pendulum and gis acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute 1mfor land 9.8m/s2for g.

T=2Ï€1m9.8m/s2=2.01s

Therefore, the period of small angle oscillations of a simple pendulum is2.01s.

03

Find the period of small angle oscillation of a meter stick suspended from one end.

b. The period of small angle oscillation of a meter stick suspended from one end is,


T=2Ï€Imgl'


Here,l'is length of stick from its center to the one end,mis mass of the scale and lis moment of inertia of the scale relative to one end.

The moment of inertia of the scale is,

I=13ml2


Substitute 13ml2for Iand l2for l'in equation T=2Ï€Imgl'


T=2Ï€13ml2mgl2=2Ï€2l3g


Substitute 1mfor land 9.8m/s2for g.


T=2Ï€21m39.8m/s2=1.64s

Therefore, the period of small angle oscillation of a meter stick suspended from one end is1.64s.

A barbell is mounted on a nearly frictionless axle through its center (Figure 11.105). At this instant, there are two forces of equal magnitude applied to the system as shown, with the directions indicated, and at this instant, the angular velocity is 60 Rad/s, counterclockwise. In the next 0.001s,the angular momentum relative to the center increases by an amount 2.5 kg.meter square per second. What is the magnitude of each force? What is the net force?

Determine both the direction and magnitude of the angular momentum of the particle in Figure 11.13, relative to the locations D, E,F, G, and H. We've already analyzed the angular momentum relative toA, B, and C in the example given above. Notice how the magnitude and direction of the angular momentum relative to the different locations differ in magnitude and direction.

What is the direction of the orbital (translational) angular momentum of the comet shown in the figure relative to the Sun?

Two balls of equal radius and mass, free to roll on a horizontal plane, are separated by a distance L large compared to their radius. One ball is solid, the other hollow with a thickness small compared to its radius. They are attracted by an electric force. How far will the solid ball roll before it collides with the hollow ball?

A disk of radius8 cmis pulled along a frictionless surface with a force of10 N by a string wrapped around the edge (Figure 11.102). 24 cmof string has unwound off the disk. What are the magnitude and direction of the torque exerted about the center of the disk at this instant?
