A uniform rod of length L oscillates as a pendulum about a ALC pivot that is a distance x from the center.

a. For what value of x, in terms of L, is the oscillation period a minimum?

b. What is the minimum oscillation period of a 15kg,1.0-m-long steel bar?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)As a result, the value of the distance between the pivot and the center of mass is 112L

b) the minimum oscillation of the time period is 1.5s

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Given data(part a)

a) A physical pendulum is made up of a solid object that swings back and forth on a pivot due to gravity.
The physical pendulum's time period is expressed as:

T=2Imgl

Where, I is the moment of inertia, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity and l is the distance between pivot and center of mass.

02

Step 2:The length of rod x(part a)

a)The rod's length is given as

L is the length of the pivot, and the distance between the pivot and the center of mass is x.

The expression for an object's moment of inertia about any other point other than the moment of inertia is:

localid="1651404148929" Irod=Icm+Mx2

Where, localid="1651404155522" Icmis the moment of inertia at center of mass, M is the mass of rod and x is the distance between pivot and center of mass.

As a result, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is:

localid="1651404158982" Irod=12ML2+Mx2

Substitute localid="1651404163198" Irodfor I in the equation for time period,

localid="1651404167466" T=IMgx

localid="1651404172342" =2112ML2+Mx2Mgx

localid="1651404177706" =2112L2+x2gx1/2

Take the derivate of T with respect to time and equate it to zero to find the length of x for which the time period is shortest. The time period derivate with respect to x is:

localid="1651404184908" dTdx=112L2+x2gx1/22x2112L2+x2gx2

Equatelocalid="1651404192448" dTdx=0, but only term with subtracting values will be possibly equal to zero Thus,

localid="1651404198632" 2x2112L2+x2=0

localid="1651404236683" 2x2=112L2+x2

localid="1651404243754" x=112L

As a result, the value of the distance between the pivot and the center of mass is localid="1651404251141" 112L.

Step 3:Given data (part b)

b)A physical pendulum is a solid object that swings back and forth on a pivot as a result of gravity. A physical pendulum's time period is expressed as:

T=2Imgl

Where I denotes the moment of inertia, m the mass of the object, g the gravitational acceleration, and l the distance between the pivot and the center of mass.

04

Step 4:The time peroiod(part b)

b)The mass of the rod is15kgand the length of the rod is 1.0m.

The time period for value 112LFor x, the value in the expression for time period is substituted.

T=2IrodMgx

Substitute 112Lfor x,12ML2+Mx2for Irod,1.0mfor L and 9.8m/s2for g in the equation,

T=2112L2+x2gx

=2112L2+112L2g112L

=1.5s

As a result, the time period is 1.5s

It gets pretty hot in your apartment. In browsing the Internet, you find a company selling small "room air conditioners." You place the air conditioner on the floor, plug it in, and-the advertisement says_it will lower the room temperature up to . Should you order one10F? Explain.

A heat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. The same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. Heat pumps are widely used for home heating. You can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat QH, warming the indoors. Perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. Electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. This is a direct, 100%conversion of work to heat. That is, 15kWof electric power (generated by doing work at the rate of 15kJ/sat the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 15kJ/s. Suppose that the neighbor鈥檚 home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 5.0, a realistic value. Note that 鈥渨hat you get鈥 with a heat pump is heat delivered, QH, so a heat pump鈥檚 coefficient of performance is defined asK=QH/Win.

a. How much electric power inkWdoes the heat pump use to deliver 15kJ/sof heat energy to the house?

b. An average price for electricity is about 40MJper dollar. A furnace or heat pump will run typically 250 hours per month during the winter. What does one month鈥檚 heating cost in the home with a 15kW electric heater and in the home of the neighbor who uses a heat pump?

A Carnot engine operates between temperatures of 5Cand 500C. The output is used to run a Carnot refrigerator operating between -5C and 25C. How many joules of heat energy does the refrigerator exhaust into the room for each joule of heat energy used by the heat engine?
