In the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b. What is the initial period of the pendulum? c. The man saves himself by smearing food on his ropes so that rats chew through them. He does so when he has no more than 12 cycles before the pendulum will make contact with him. How much time does it take the rats to chew through the ropes? FIGURE P16.39
There is a 5K event coming up in your town. While talking to your grandmother, who uses an electric scooter for mobility, she says that she would like to accompany you on her scooter while you walk the 5.00-km distance. The manual that came with her scooter claims that the fully charged battery is capable of providing 120 Wh of energy before being depleted. In preparation for the race, you go for a test drive: beginning with a fully charged battery, your grandmother rides beside you as you walk 5.00 km on flat ground. At the end of the walk, the battery usage indicator shows that 40.0% of the original energy in the battery remains. You also know that the combined weight of the scooter and your grandmother is 890 N. A few days later, filled with confidence that the battery has sufficient energy, you and your grandmother drive to the 5K event. Unbeknownst to you, the 5K route is not on flat ground, but is all uphill, ending at a point higher than the starting line. A race official tells you that the total amount of vertical displacement on the route is 150 m. Should your grandmother accompany you on the walk, or will she be stranded when her battery runs out of energy? Assume that the only difference between your test drive and the actual event is the vertical displacement.
