A pendulum has a length l (the rope is massless). The mass of the object suspended from the pendulum is m. With rope horizontal θ = 90o When it makes an angle of degrees, we first leave the object at no speed. Any friction can be neglected. Gravitational acceleration g. Give your answers in terms of l, m and g.

significance. As we shall see in Example 3.10, w= Vg/l is the oscilla-
tion frequency, in radians per second, of a simple pendulum of length I.
If the rotation frequency is less than this value, the pendulum can hang
vertically. (It could also swing back and forth, executing pendulum mo-
tion.) However, for a rotation frequency higher than the pendulum fre-
quency, the pendulum will fly outward, unless it is precisely vertical.
Can you see why this is so?
motion suddenly has two solutions, has some special
The moral of this example is that it is important to check that a mathe-
matical solution makes good physical sense.

- A student is asked to measure the acceleration of a glider on a frictionless, inclined plane, using an air track, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. The top of the track is measured to be 1.774 cm higher than the bottom of the track, and the length of the track is d = 127.1 cm. The cart is released from rest at the top of the incline, taken as x = 0, and its position x along the incline is measured as a function of time. For x values of 10.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 35.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 75.0 cm, and 100 cm, the measured times at which these positions are reached (averaged over five runs) are 1.02 s, 1.53 s, 2.01 s, 2.64 s, 3.30 s, and 3.75 s, respectively.
