Question
A student performs an experiment that involves the motion of a pendulum. The student attaches one end of a string to an object of mass � and secures the other end of the string so that the object is at rest as it hangs from the string. When the student raises the object to a height above its lowest point and releases it from rest, the object undergoes
-
Make sure that the length of the string is not too long.
-
Make sure that the mass of the pendulum is not too large.
-
Make sure that the difference in height between the pendulum’s release position and rest position is not too large.
-
Make sure that the experiment is conducted in an environment that has minimal wind resistance.

- Dr. Chaos uses his watch to hypnotize unsuspecting citizens in attempting to rob them. His watch is a simple pendulum that he sets into simple harmonic motion. The length of the pendulum is 0.120 m, and the mass at the end is 2.75 kg. Use the equations below to model the motion of the watch when it is pulled back to a maximum angle of 3.00° and released. s(t) = smax cos(?smpt + φ) v(t) = −vmax sin(?smpt + φ) a(t) = −amax cos(?smpt + φ) Assume the initial phase is zero. What are the following attributes of the watch?

The cylinder is pulled to a distance of 0.200 m from its equilibrium position, held in place with a force of 18.0 N, and then released from rest. It then oscillates in simple harmonic motion. (The cylinder oscillates along the x-axis, where x = 0 is the equilibrium position.) (a) What is the spring constant (in N/m)? N/m (b) What is the frequency of the oscillations (in Hz)?
