Chapter 5, Problem 5.26P
A pendulum has an oscillation period T which is assumed to depend on its length L, bob mass m, angle of swing θ, and the acceleration of gravity. A pendulum 1 m long, with a bob mass of 200 g, is tested on earth and found to have a period of 2.04 s when swinging at 20°. (a) What is its period when it swings at 45°? A similarly constructed pendulum, with L = 30 cm and m = 100g, is to swing on the moon (g = 1.62 m/s2) at θ = 20°. (b) What will be its period?

1. In the laboratory, when you hanged 100 grams at the end of the spring it stretched 10 cm.
You pulled the 100-gram mass 6 cm from its equilibrium position and let it go at t = 0. Find an
equation for the position of the mass as a function of time t.
2. The scale of a spring balance found in an old Physics lab reads from 0 to 15.0 kg is 12.0 cm
long. To know its other specifications, a package was suspended from it and it was found to
oscillate vertically with a frequency of 2.00 Hz. Calculate the spring constant of the balance?
(b) How much does the package weigh?
The length of a pendulum is 40 cm. What is its frequency when suspended in an elevator rising at a constant acceleration of 2.5 m/s^2
Damian’s car weighs 2000kg. The spring has a natural unstretched length of 2m and a spring constant of k = 80000N/m. Hooke's law can be written as T = kd. Where T is the tension force in newtons, k is the spring constant and d is the length in metres.
Let x(t) be the position of the front of Damian’s car and let y(t) be the position of the back of Eva’s 4WD. We will assume that the position of Eva’s car is a known function of time.
Q1
a) Create a sketch of the positions of the vehicles similar to the one given and add the positions x and y.
b) What is the extension of the spring in terms of x(t) and y(t)? Be careful to take into account that the unstretched length of the spring is 2m.
