2. Find the period of oscillation for the following pendulum. The sphere is solid with mass M, = 2.00 kg and radius R = 10.0 cm. The rod has mass M, = 0.750 kg, length L = 30.0 cm. The distance from the pivot to the center of the sphere is ₁ 50.0 cm and from the center of the sphere to the center of rod is l₂ 70.0 cm. The thin bar connecting the sphere and the rod is massless.
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
