[h!] A conical pendulum consists of a weight (or bob) fixed on the end of a string or rod suspended from a pivot. Its construction is similar to an ordinary pendulum; however, instead of swinging back and forth, the bob of a conical pendulum moves at a constant speed in a circle with the string tracing out a cone as shone below. (a) Draw an FBD for the pendulum bob. (b) Find an expression for the period of the pendulum (the time it takes to complete one revolution) in terms of l, 6, and g.
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.
![Question 3.
[h!] A conical pendulum consists of a weight (or bob) fixed on the end of a string or rod suspended from a
pivot. Its construction is similar to an ordinary pendulum; however, instead of swinging back and forth, the
bob of a conical pendulum moves at a constant speed in a circle with the string tracing out a cone as shone
below.
(a) Draw an FBD for the pendulum bob.
(b) Find an expression for the period of the pendulum (the time it takes to complete one revolution) in
terms of l, 0, and g.
