During a relaxed walking pace, a person's leg can be thought of as a physical pendulum of length L that pivots about the hip. What is the relaxed walking frequency in Hz for a person whose leg is of length 1.387m. In this approximation, assume the leg is a uniform rod ("uniform" implying the leg has a uniform mass density along its length). Note: In the space below, please enter you numerical answer. Do not enter any units. If you enter units, your answer will be marked as incorrect.
Figure 1 is a very powerful plot as it tells us what frequency will produce maximum steady stateresponse for our system in differential equation (1). Indeed, for the parameters here we find thatωmax = 3.24037 radians/second and the maximum steady state amplitude is 0.093352 m.
a) Find the range [ωLow, ωHigh] surrounding ωmax such that all responses are at or above 90% ofthe maximum steady state amplitude of 0.093352 m.
A uniform plane wave has the generic expression
Φ(z,t) = A cos(ωt – kz + δ)
with the following given parameter values: wave amplitude = 10, wave frequency in Hz f = 500 Hz, phase velocity vph = 10 m/s, and the phase angle δ = 60o. Find the values of the parameters A, ω, and k.
