Two small metallic spheres, each of mass m = 0.218 g, are suspended as pendulums by light strings of length L as shown in the figure below. The spheres are given the same electric charge of 7.6 nC, and they come to equilibrium when each string is at an angle of e = 5.35° with the vertical. How long are the strings? L m

You have a metal spring of negligible mass that has spring constant k. The spring is supporting an object of mass m which is oscillating up and down with an angular frequency of w. What happens when a large steady current passes through the spring? O The oscillations gradually slow down until they come to a complete stop O The mass continues to oscillate with a reduced oscillation period O The mass continues to oscillate with an increased oscillation period O The mass continues to oscillate with the same oscillation period
In the arrangement shown in the figure below, an object of mass m = 2.0 kg hangs from a cord around a light pulley. The length of the cord between point P and the pulley is L = 2.0 m. (Ignore the mass of the vertical section of the cord.) The left end of a horizontal cord of density ? is connected to a vibrator at point P. A distance L from point P, the cord goes over a pulley and hangs down. A block of mass m connects to the hanging end of the cord. The vibrator causes the portion of cord between point P and the pulley to oscillate such that standing waves are generated. (a) When the vibrator is set to a frequency of 130 Hz, a standing wave with six loops is formed. What must be the linear mass density of the cord? kg/m(b) How many loops (if any) will result if m is changed to 72.0 kg? (Enter 0 if no loops form.) loops(c) How many loops (if any) will result if m is changed to 14 kg? (Enter 0 if no loops form.) loops
A block of mass (m = 12 kg) is attached at its top to a string that goes up and loops over a pulley. The end of the string is then attached to a second block of mass (m = 16 kg) that hangs freely. The bottom of the 12 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant (k = 120 N/m). This spring is then attached to the floor. a) What is the stretch in the spring from its relaxed position? 6) If the spring was detached from the 12 kg block, what would the acceleration of the two blocks be?
A uniform rod of mass M and length L is free to swing back and forth by pivoting a distance x from its center. It undergoes harmonic oscillations by swinging back and forth under the influence of gravity.Randomized Variables M = 2.4 kgL = 1.6 mx = 0.38 m a) In terms of M, L, and x, what is the rod’s moment of inertia I about the pivot point. b) Calculate the rod’s period T in seconds for small oscillations about its pivot point. c) In terms of L, find an expression for the distance xm for which the period is a minimum.
Your answer is partially correct. A point on the surface of a solid sphere (radius= 0.954 m) is attached directly to a pivot on the ceiling. The sphere swings back and forth as a physical pendulum with a small amplitude. What is the length of a simple pendulum that has the same period as this physical pendulum? Number i 381.6 Units m
