- 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_forwardA restaurant manager has decorated his retro diner by hanging (scratched) vinyl LP records from thin wires. The records have a mass of 180 g, a diameter of 12 in., and negligible thickness. The records oscillate as torsion pendulums. a. Records hung from a small hole near their rims have a period of roughly 3.5 s (Fig. P16.41A). What is the torsion spring constant of the wire? b. If a record is hung from its center hole using a wire of the same torsion spring constant (Fig. P16.41B), what is its period of oscillation? FIGURE P16.41arrow_forwardA horizontal spring attached to a wall has a force constant of 850 N/m. 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. (e) What is the speed at the halfway point? Why isnt it half the speed at equilibrium?arrow_forward

Determine its period of oscillation. FIGURE P16.35arrow_forwardFigure P13.74 shows a crude model of an insect wing. 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. If the mass m moves up and down a distance of 2.0 mm from its position of equilibrium, what is the maximum speed of the outer tip of the wing? Figure P13.74arrow_forward
- A small ball is tied to a string and hung as shown in Figure P8.34. It is released from rest at position 1, and, during the swing, the string meets a fixed peg as shown. Explain why position 2 at which the ball comes momentarily to rest must be at the same height as position 1.arrow_forwardA spring of mass ms and spring constant k is attached to an object of mass M and set into simple harmonic motion on a frictionless, horizontal table. All portions of the spring are assumed to oscillate in phase, and the velocity of each segment dx of the spring with mass dm can be assumed to be proportional to the distance x of that segment from point A in Figure P16.25. a. What is the kinetic energy of the system at the instant the object is moving with speed v? b. What is the frequency of oscillation of the system?

(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. (c) What quantity appears in every equation?arrow_forwardReview. A block of mass M hangs from a rubber cord. The block is supported so that the cord is not stretched. The unstretched length of the cord is L0, and its mass is m, much less than M.
