length of the pendulum as indicated by the scaling. When suspended from A, the pendulum has a period of T = 1.78 s. The pendulum is
then suspended from B, which is moved until the pendulum again has that period. What is the distance L between A and B?

- A uniform annular ring of mass m and inner and outer radii a and b, respectively, is pivoted around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the ring at point P (Fig. P16.35). Determine its period of oscillation. FIGURE P16.35arrow_forwardIn the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b. What is the initial period of the pendulum? c. The man saves himself by smearing food on his ropes so that rats chew through them. He does so when he has no more than 12 cycles before the pendulum will make contact with him. How much time does it take the rats to chew through the ropes?

A block of mass 1.00 kg is attached to the spring and oscillates freely on a horizontal, frictionless surface as in Figure 5.22. The initial goal of this problem is to find the velocity at the equilibrium point after the block is released. (a) What objects constitute the system, and through what forces do they interact? (b) What are the two points of interest? (c) Find the energy stored in the spring when the mass is stretched 6.00 cm from equilibrium and again when the mass passes through equilibrium after being released from rest. (d) Write the conservation of energy equation for this situation and solve it for the speed of the mass as it passes equilibrium. Substitute to obtain a numerical value.

If any periods are equal, show their equality in your tanking, (a) The system is as described above, (b) The system is as described in situation (a) except the amplitude is 0.2 m. (c) The situation is as described in situation (a) except the mass is 0.2 kg. (d) The situation is as described in situation (a) except the spring has force constant 20 N/m.

The mass m represents the entire mass of the wing, which pivots about the fulcrum F. The spring represents the surrounding connective tissue. Motion of the wing corresponds to vibration of the spring. Suppose the mass of the wing is 0.30 g and the effective spring constant of the tissue is 4.7 104 N/m.

- The equations listed in Table 2.2 give position as a function of time, velocity as a function of time, and velocity as a function of position for an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration. The quantity vxi appears in every equation. (a) Do any of these equations apply to an object moving in a straight line with simple harmonic motion? (b) Using a similar format, make a table of equations describing simple harmonic motion. Include equations giving acceleration as a function of time and acceleration as a function of position. State the equations in such a form that they apply equally to a blockspring system, to a pendulum, and to other vibrating systems.

Also explain how a driving mechanism can compensate. (A pendulum clock is such a system.)arrow_forwardIt is important for astronauts in space to monitor their body weight. In Earth orbit, a simple scale only reads an apparent weight of zero, so another method is needed. NASA developed the body mass measuring device (BMMD) for Skylab astronauts. The BMMD is a spring-mounted chair that oscillates in simple harmonic motion (Fig. P16.23). From the period of the motion, the mass of the astronaut can be calculated. In a typical system, the chair has a period of oscillation of 0.901 s when empty. The spring constant is 606 N/m. When a certain astronaut sits in the chair, the period of oscillation increases to 2.37 s. Determine the mass of the astronaut. FIGURE P16.23arrow_forward
