A holiday ornament in the shape of a hollow sphere with mass \({\bf{M}} = {\bf{0}}.{\bf{015}}\,{\bf{kg}}\) and radius \({\bf{R}} = {\bf{0}}.{\bf{050}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{m}}\) is hung from a tree limb by a small loop of wire attached to the surface of the sphere. If the ornament is displaced a small distance and released, it swings back and forth as a physical pendulum with negligible friction. Calculate its period. (Hint: Use the parallel-axis theorem to find the moment of inertia of the sphere about the pivot at the tree limb.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The time period is \(0.58\,{\rm{s}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

\({\bf{M}} = {\bf{0}}.{\bf{015}}\,{\bf{kg}}\)

\({\bf{R}} = {\bf{0}}.{\bf{050}}\,{\bf{m}}\)

02

Significance of time period of physical pendulum  

The letter "\(T\)" stands for the period of time needed for the pendulum to complete one complete oscillation.

\(T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{I}{{MgR}}} \) …(i)

Where, \(M\) is mass, \(I\) is the moment of inertia, \(R\) is radius of the sphere from and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity

03

Determining the time period

The hollow sphere's moment of inertia about the support point is equal to the sum of the sphere's moment of inertia about its axis and its moment of inertia about the support point

\(\begin{aligned}{}I = \frac{2}{3}M{R^2} + M{R^2}\\ = \frac{5}{3}M{R^2}\end{aligned}\)

Substitute all the values in equation (i)

\(\begin{aligned}{}T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{\frac{5}{3}M{R^2}}}{{MgR}}} \\ = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{5R}}{{3g}}} \\ = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{5 \times 0.05\,{\rm{m}}}}{{3 \times 9.8\,{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \\ = 0.58\,{\rm{s}}\end{aligned}\)

Hence the time period is \(0.58\,{\rm{s}}\)

At what distance above the surface of the earth is the acceleration due to the earth’s gravity 0.980 m/s2 if the acceleration due to gravity at the surface has magnitude 9.8 m/s2?

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient’s artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15×104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient’s blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient’s artery is blocked by the plaque?

While driving in an exotic foreign land, you see a speed limit sign that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.)

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter.

Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a 10-sinterval.

What are the magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction of the average acceleration in each interval?

Assume that the positive direction is to the right.

(a) At the beginning of the interval, the astronaut is moving toward the right along the x-axis at 15.0m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at5.0m/s .

(b) At the beginning she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276110547" 5.0m/s , and at the end she is moving toward the left at 15.0m/s.

(c) At the beginning she is moving toward the right at , and at the end she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276636193" 15.0m/s .
