A 15cmlong, 200grod is pivoted at one end. A 20gball of clay is stuck on the other end. What is the period if the rod and clay swing as a pendulum?

Short Answer

Expert verified

PeriodT=0.487sec

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Pivot length l=15cm

mass of pivot m1=200g=0.2kg

mass of ballm2=20g=0.02kg

02

Explanation

Moment of Inertia of rod about pivot =m1l23

Moment of Inertia of clay ball about pivot =m2l2

Combine moment of inertia of pivot:

I=m13+m2l2=0.23+0.02(0.15)2 I=0.00195kgm2

Combined mass role="math" localid="1650048680672" M=m1+m2=0.2+0.02=0.22kg

Time period

T=2πIMgl=2π0.001950.22×9.81×0.15=0.487sec

A 1.0kgblock is attached to a spring with spring constant 16N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and almost instantaneously gives its a speed of 40cm/s.

What are

a. The amplitude of the subsequent oscillations?

b. The block's speed at the point where x=12A?

Your lab instructor has asked you to measure a spring constant using a dynamic method—letting it oscillate—rather than a static method of stretching it. You and your lab partner suspend the spring from a hook, hang different masses on the lower end, and start them oscillating. One of you uses a meter stick to measure the amplitude, the other uses a stopwatch to time 10oscillations.

Your data are as follows:

Use the best-fit line of an appropriate graph to determine the spring constant.

A 200gmass attached to a horizontal spring oscillates at a frequency of 2.0Hz. At t=0s, the mass is at x=5.0cmand has vx=-30cm/s. Determine:

a.The period.

b.The angular frequency.

c.The amplitude.

d.The phase constant.

e.The maximum speed.

f.The maximum acceleration.

g.The total energy.

h.The position at t=0.40s.

A block hangs in equilibrium from a vertical spring. When a second identical block is added, the original block sags by 5.0cm. What is the oscillation frequency of the two-block system?

Interestingly, there have been several studies using cadavers to determine the moments of inertia of human body parts, information that is important in biomechanics. In one study, the center of mass of a 5.0 kg lower leg was found to be 18 cm from the knee. When the leg was allowed to pivot at the knee and swing freely as a pendulum, the oscillation frequency was 1.6Hz . What was the moment of inertia of the lower leg about the knee joint?
