One end of a cord is fixed and a small 0.620-kg object is attached to the other end, where it swings in a section of a vertical circle of radius 1.50 m as shown in the figure below. When 0 = 27.0°, the speed of the object is 6.00 m/s. At this instant, find each of the following. 10 (a) the tension in the string T = XN (b) the tangential and radial components of acceleration a₁ = x m/s² inward at = x (c) the total acceleration a total x m/s2 downward tangent to the circle x m/s² inward and below the cord at (d) Is your answer changed if the object is swinging down toward its lowest point instead of swinging up? O Yes O No X
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.
