This problem explores the nonlinear pendulum discussed qualitatively in Conceptual Example 13.1. You can tackle this problem if you have experience with your calculator’s differential-equation solving capabilities or if you’ve used a software program like Mathematica or Maple that can solve differential equations numerically. On page 228 we wrote Newton’s law for a pendulum in the form I d2θ/dt2 = −mgL sin θ. (a) Rewrite this equation in a form suitable for a simple pendulum, but without making the approximation

- 4. In this question, we will examine the small angle approximation. Start by drawing a simple pendulum of length l, with a mass m at the end, and with the angle between the vertical and the pendulum being θ. a. Using polar coordinates, prove to yourself that the force in the θ-hat direction is equal to F=-m*g*sin(θ) for all values of |θ|arrow_forwardTwo pendulums have the same dimensions (length L) and total mass (m). Pendulum A is a very small ball swinging at the end of a uniform massless bar. In pendulum B, half the mass is in the ball and half is in the uniform bar.

- A tank contains 120 gallons of water and 45 oz of salt. Water containing a salt (1+=sin t) oz/gal flows into the tank at a rate of 8 10 concentration of gal/min, and the mixture in the tank flows out at the same rate. The long-time behavior of the solution is an oscillation about a certain constant level. What is this level? What is the amplitude of the oscillation? Round the values to two decimal places. 55 Oscillation about a level = oz, 0.125 Amplitude of the oscillation = 0z.arrow_forwardA simple pendulum is constructed from a short metal rod of the mass mand of the length / suspended horizontally to the ground by the middle on a weightless wire of the length L. The observed frequency of this pendulum is f. Write down an expression for the gravitational field strength. Please use "*" (without the quotes) for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. For exponents (e.g. A²) use A*A or A^2 notation: thus A³/B should appear as either A*A*A/B or A^3/B. Please use the "Display response" button to check you entered the answer you expect.

- The approximation that sin 0 = 0 is only applicable for small angles because A The pendulum always swings at small angles. B The angle does not affect any quantity for the motion of a pendulum. The difference between the sine value and the radian value is small to the point that we can neglect it. D It is easier to analyze the system without the trigonometric function sine.arrow_forwardTwo pendulums have the same dimensions (length L) and total mass 1m2.
