Question
The torque acting on the center of mass of a pendulum is given as:
T =7 x F = r × mg
Thus, T = mgrsino
Also, 7 = -Ia = -Ia = mgrsind = = 0 + mg" sin0 = 0
1Ö + mgrsind = 0
I
Hence, the time period of a pendulum is given as
T = 27,
mgr
Which of the following approximations have been utilized to arrive at the above expression for time
time period?
O m «I, thus the mass of the pendulum is much less compared to its moment of inertia.
sind 2 0, thus the angular amplitude of oscillations are very small.
O The cross product cannot be correctly defined in this problem.
mg = I, thus the weight of the pendulum mass should be approximately equal to the overall moment of
inertia.
