Hace 5 días · A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support so that it swings freely back and forth under the influence of gravity. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back towards the equilibrium position.
Hace 6 días · A simple pendulum consists of a single point of mass m (bob) attached to a rod (or wire) of length \( \ell \) and of negligible weight. We denote by θ the angle measured between the rod and the vertical axis, which is assumed to be positive in counterclockwise direction.
Hace 3 días · Figure 1: a) Typical pendulum bob shown with two alternatives, b) a plumb bob and, c) a roll of coins taped together. The alternative pendulum bobs may be easier to obtain, and will still allow the experimenter to obtain reasonable measurements. 2 THEORY A Simple Pendulum consists of a mass (the "bob"), suspended by a nearly weightless string ...
Hace 3 días · The pendulum consists of a bob (point mass) of mass m attached to the end of a light inextensible rod of length ℓ and negligible weight, with the motion taking place in a vertical plane. Such pendulum is usually referred to as a simple pendulum.
Hace 5 días · In order to derive the system of differential equations that model the spring pendulum oscillations, we calculate its kinetic energy. K(r, ˙r, ˙θ) = m 2 (˙x2 + ˙y2) = m 2 (˙r2 + r2˙θ2) and the potential energy. Π(r, θ) = k 2(r − ℓ)2 + mg(ℓ − y) = k 2(r − ℓ)2 − mgr(t)cosθ, where r2 = (ℓ − y)2 + x2.
Hace 2 días · Kater’s pendulum, shown in Fig. 1, is a physical pendulum composed of a metal rod 1.20 m in length, upon which are mounted a sliding metal weight W 1, a sliding wooden weight W 2, a small sliding metal cylinder w, and two sliding knife edges K 1 and K 2 that face each other.
Hace 4 días · A ballistic pendulum is a device for measuring a bullet's momentum, from which it is possible to calculate the velocity and kinetic energy. Ballistic pendulums have been largely rendered obsolete by modern chronographs, which allow direct measurement of the projectile velocity.
