A g ball is tied to a string. It is pulled to an angle of and released to swing as a pendulum. A student with a stopwatch finds that oscillations take. How long is the string?
Short Answer
The length of the string is.

The solid disk and circular hoop in FIGURE have the same radius and the same mass. Each can swing back and forth as a pendulum from a pivot at the top edge. Which, if either, has the larger period of oscillation?

75. II A block on a frictionless table is connected as shown in FIGURE P to two springs having spring constants and . Find an expression for the block's oscillation frequency f in terms of the frequenciesand at which it would oscillate if attached to spring or spring alone.

A uniform rod of length oscillates as a pendulum about a pivot that is a distance from the center.
a. For what value of in terms of is the oscillation period a minimum?
b. What is the minimum oscillation period of a , -long steel bar?
A block hangs from a spring with spring constant . At the block islocalid="1650020763199" below the equilibrium point and moving upward with a speed oflocalid="1650020788839" . What are the block's
a. Oscillation frequency?
b. Distance from equilibrium when the speed is ?
c. Distance from equilibrium at ?
A captive James Bond is strapped to a table beneath a huge
pendulum made of a -diameter uniform circular metal blade
rigidly attached, at its top edge, to a -long, massless rod.
The pendulum is set swinging with a amplitude when its lower
edge is above the prisoner, then the table slowly starts ascending
at . After minutes, the pendulum’s amplitude
has decreased to . Fortunately, the prisoner is freed with a
mere to spare. What was the speed of the lower edge of the
blade as it passed over him for the last time?
