A 5.80 g toy cow is attached to a spring that has a spring constant of 4.60 N/m. The spring is stretched some unmeasured distance and released so that it begins to oscillate. The total energy of the system is measured as 0.828 J. What will the speed of the mass-spring system be when it is 18.2 cm away from its equilibrium position?
A simple pendulum consists of a weight with mass 5.5 kg suspended from a 0.4 m long wire. The weight is pulled so that the wire makes an angle of 5° with the vertical, and then
the weight is released. How long will it take the weight to reach its maximum height again?

This, the length of the pendulum is 2.07 m. Now you start
with the pendulum at 39.6 degrees with respect to the
vertical, but rather than releasing it from rest, you give it a
push downward. It swings to the other side, and reaches a
maximum angle of 56.6 degrees with respect to the vertical.
What must have been the initial speed of the pendulum just
after you pushed it?

- In 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? FIGURE P16.39arrow_forwardConsider the data for a block of mass m = 0.250 kg given in Table P16.59. Friction is negligible. a. What is the mechanical energy of the blockspring system? b. Write expressions for the kinetic and potential energies as functions of time. c. Plot the kinetic energy, potential energy, and mechanical energy as functions of time on the same set of axes. Problems 5965 are grouped. 59. G Table P16.59 gives the position of a block connected to a horizontal spring at several times. Sketch a motion diagram for the block. Table P16.59arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 2.00 kg is attached to a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m as shown in Figure P7.15. The block is pulled to a position xi = 5.00 cm to the right of equilibrium and released from rest. Find the speed the block has as it passes through equilibrium if (a) the horizontal surface is frictionless and (b) the coefficient of friction between block and surface is k = 0.350.

- A lightweight spring with spring constant k = 225 N/m is attached to a block of mass m1 = 4.50 kg on a frictionless, horizontal table. The blockspring system is initially in the equilibrium configuration. A second block of mass m2 = 3.00 kg is then pushed against the first block, compressing the spring by x = 15.0 cm as in Figure P16.77A. When the force on the second block is removed, the spring pushes both blocks to the right. The block m2 loses contact with the springblock 1 system when the blocks reach the equilibrium configuration of the spring (Fig. P16.77B). a. What is the subsequent speed of block 2? b. Compare the speed of block 1 when it again passes through the equilibrium position with the speed of block 2 found in part (a). 77. (a) The energy of the system initially is entirely potential energy. E0=U0=12kymax2=12(225N/m)(0.150m)2=2.53J At the equilibrium position, the total energy is the total kinetic energy of both blocks: 12(m1+m2)v2=12(4.50kg+3.00kg)v2=(3.75kg)v2=2.53J Therefore, the speed of each block is v=2.53J3.75kg=0.822m/s (b) Once the second block loses contact, the first block is moving at the speed found in part (a) at the equilibrium position. The energy 01 this spring-block 1 system is conserved, so when it returns to the equilibrium position, it will be traveling at the same speed in the opposite direction, or v=0.822m/s. FIGURE P16.77arrow_forwardWe do not need the analogy in Equation 16.30 to write expressions for the translational displacement of a pendulum bob along the circular arc s(t), translational speed v(t), and translational acceleration a(t). Show that they are given by s(t) = smax cos (smpt + ) v(t) = vmax sin (smpt + ) a(t) = amax cos(smpt + ) respectively, where smax = max with being the length of the pendulum, vmax = smax smp, and amax = smax smp2.arrow_forwardA 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).

- Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0=1.00 m and a mass M at temperature T=20.00 °C. It can be modeled as a physical pendulum as a rod oscillating around one end. By what percentage will the period change if the temperature increases by 10°C? Assume the length of the rod changes linearly with temperature, where L=L0(1+T) and the rod is made of (=18106C1) .arrow_forwardA vibration sensor, used in testing a washing machine, consists of a cube of aluminum 1.50 cm on edge mounted on one end of a strip of spring steel (like a hacksaw blade) that lies in a vertical plane. The strips mass is small compared with that of the cube, but the strips length is large compared with the size of the cube. The other end of the strip is clamped to the frame of the washing machine that is not operating. A horizontal force of 1.43 N applied to the cube is required to hold it 2.75 cm away from its equilibrium position. If it is released, what is its frequency of vibration?arrow_forwardA ball with a mass of 240 g is tied to a light string that has a length of 2.80 m. The end of the string is tied to a hook, and the ball hangs motionless below the hook. Keeping the string taut, you move the ball back and up until it is a vertical distance of 1.08 m above its equilibrium point. You then release the ball from rest, and it oscillates back and forth, pendulum style. As usual, we will neglect air resistance. Use g = 9.80 m/s2. (a) What is the highest speed the ball achieves in its subsequent motion? m/s (b) What is the maximum height the ball reaches in its subsequent motion (measured from its equilibrium position)? (c) When the ball passes through the equilibrium point for the first time, what is the magnitude of the tension in the string? Narrow_forward

The explorer finds that the pendulum completes 96.0 full swing cycles in a time of 145 s. What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on this planet? Express your answer in meters per second per second. If we use idea of simple pendulum, such that the period or T = square root of the length/g cycles, I believe that 2 pie when when get rid of square root makes 2 pie become 4 pie.
