The pendulum shown in figure is pulled to a 10° angle on the left side and released.

a. What is the period of this pendulum?

b. What is the pendulum’s maximum angle on the right side?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The time period of the pendulum is 0.84seconds

b. The pendulum's maximum angle on the right side is7.25°

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Given information

The pendulum is pulled to a 10°angle on the left side and released. So, when we calculating the time period we have to sum up the two time periods of the two ends of pendulum of length 0.12m.

The time period of the pendulum written as T=2Ï€Lg

g=9.81m/s2

Where,

L is the length of the pendulum and

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

02

Explanation Part (a) 

Given L=0.12m

The total time period is equal to the sum of periods of two ends of the pendulum

Therefore,

T=πLg+π2Lg=π0.129.81+π0.12×29.81=0.838s=0.84s

03

 Given information Part (b) 

The pendulum pulled to a 10°angle on the left side. We have to find the pendulum maximum angle at the right side.θ=10°

For that we have to use the formula of conservation of energy of simple pendulum. Where, as a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy, then back to potential energy, then back to kinetic energy.

Therefore, the equation of conservation of energy

mgl2(1-cos(θ'))=mgl(1-cos(θ(max))

where lis the length of the pendulum

θ'=minimumangleθ(max)=maximumangle

04

Explanation Part (b)

mgl2(1-cos(10))=mgl(1-cosθ(max))l2(0.016)=1-cosθ(max)0.008=1-cosθcosθ=0.992θ=cos-1(0.992)=7.25°

In a science museum, a 110kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 15.0-m long wire. The pendulum is started at exactly 8:00a.m. every morning by pulling it 1.5m to the side and releasing it. Because of its compact shape and smooth surface, the pendulum’s damping constant is only 0.010kg/s. At exactly 12:00 noon, how many oscillations will the pendulum have completed and what is its amplitude?
