A 200g ball is tied to a string. It is pulled to an angle of 8.0°and released to swing as a pendulum. A student with a stopwatch finds that 10oscillations take12s. How long is the string?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The length of the string isL=0.357m.

Step by step solution

01

 Principles.

The period Tof an easy pendulum of length Lis given by

T=2Ï€Lg

where g=9.80m/s2is that the acceleration of gravity .

Note that the amount of a straightforward pendulum depends only on its length and the magnitude of itsconstant of gravitation.

Itdoesn't rely upon the mass ofthe item hanging fromthe sting or the amplitude of vibration.

02

The specified data.

The mass of the ball is:m=200g

The ball is pulled to an angle 8.00°.

The ball makes 10oscillations in 12.0s.

03

The required data.

To find the length of the string.

04

Solutions.

Model the ball string system as a straightforward pendulum.

The ball makes 10 oscillations in 12.0s,so the beat cycle is as follows:

T=12.0s10

=1.20s

Solving Equation (*) for $L$, we obtain:

L=T2g4Ï€2

Substitute numerical values:

L=(1.20s)29.80m/s24Ï€2

=0.357m.

A captive James Bond is strapped to a table beneath a huge

pendulum made of a 2.0-m-diameter uniform circular metal blade

rigidly attached, at its top edge, to a 6.0m-long, massless rod.

The pendulum is set swinging with a 10°amplitude when its lower

edge is 3.0mabove the prisoner, then the table slowly starts ascending

at 1.0mm/s. After 25minutes, the pendulum’s amplitude

has decreased to 7.0°. Fortunately, the prisoner is freed with a

mere 30sto spare. What was the speed of the lower edge of the

blade as it passed over him for the last time?
