equilibrium position at the origin of the axes.

b) To design qualitatively
1) the potential energy V(r) of the mass m,
2) its "centrifugal" dynamic energy (r) = 1² /2mr² where L is the measure of
angular momentum of the mass m and r its distance from the origin of the axes, and
3) the active potential energy of U(r) = V (r)+ Vä(r).

An oscillator moves back and forth between the 10 cm and 50 cm marks on a meter stick.
What is the location of the EP on the meter stick?
In Problem 11, what is the amplitude A?
In Problem Set 2a you analyzed a pendulum by expanding out the gravitational
potential energy V (x). An alternate way of approaching this problem is by directly
considering the restoring torque T:
T= -mgl sin 0.
Angles and lengths are as depicted in the figure below.

(a) Expand out T(0) as a power series to third order in 0.
(b) Using the information from your answer to (b), determine whether the period of this
pendulum at high amplitudes 69 is longer, shorter, or the same as the period at low
amplitudes. Hint: The dynamics of this problem are governed by Newton's second law for
angular motion T = Ia = ml²6, which is to say that the torque is directly proportional to
the pendulum's instantaneous angular acceleration.

- Take a spring and cut it in half to make two springs. Is the spring constant of these smaller springs larger than, smaller than, or the same as the spring constant of the original spring? Explain.arrow_forwardScientists have developed a clever way to measure a mass of virus using a spring. A cantilever beam in the scanning electron microscope image below is like a diving board, except that it is extremely small (a couple of micrometer). The cantilever beam with mass m can oscillate (imagine a vibrating diving board) and it can be modeled as a spring with a spring constant k. What you can measure experimentally is the frequency of oscillation of the cantilever first without the virus (f1) and after the virus had attached itself to the cantilever (f2). (a) Find the mass of virus from f1 and f2 (assume that we don’t know the spring constant k) (b) Suppose the mass of cantilever is 10.0 * 10^-16 g and a frequency of 2.00 * 10^15 Hz without the virus and 2.87 * 10^14 Hz with the virus.
