A circular pendulum of length 1.1 mgoes around at an angle of 28 degreesto the vertical. Predict the speed of the mass at the end of the string. Also predict the period, the time it takes to go around once. Remember that the radius of the circle is the length of the string times the sine of the angle that the string makes to the vertical.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the mass at the end of the string is 1.64 m/s and the time is 1.97 s.

Step by step solution

01

Given

A circular pendulum of length 1.1 m goes around at an angle of 28 degrees to the vertical.

02

The expression to get the speed

According to the diagram below the tension force FThas two components in xand y.

The component force FTsinθequals the centrifugal force that rotates the pendulum in the horizontal component xand is given by

FTsinθ=mv2R ………. (1)

Also, the upward component force FTcosθin the vertical component yis in the opposite direction of the gravitational force Fg, hence it is given by

FTcosθ=mgFT=mgcosθ

Put the value of FTinto equation (1)

FTsinθ=mv2R(mgcosθ)sinθ=mv2Rv2=gR(sinθcosθ)(R=Lsinθ)v2=g(Lsinθ)(sinθcosθ)

Solve further

v=gLsin2θcosθ …….. (2)

03

The value of the speed and time of the spring

To get the value of v, substitute of the values in equation (2)

v=gLsin2θcosθ=9.8m/s21.1msin228∘cos28∘=1.64m/s

The change in distance over time is the speed. As a result of v = d / t , the block moves over the circumference of a circle when it completes one circuit. The circumference is calculated using the formula d=2Ï€¸é , where R is the circle's radius. As a result, the block's speed is determined by

v=2Ï€¸éT ………… (3)

Where T denotes the length of one period. Let's plug the R=Lsinθexpression into equation (3) and solve it for T.

T=2Ï€³¢²õ¾±²Ôθv=2Ï€(1.1m)sin28∘1.64m/s=1.97s

Therefore, the speed of the mass at the end of the string is 1.64 m/s and the time is 1.97 s.
