Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Mass of the rod =M

Length of the rod =L

Length of an element of the rod =dx

Mass of an element of the rod =dm

Formula used :

Acceleration due to gravity for small mass element ( dm ) can be obtained by:

  dg=Gdmr2

Calculation:

The gravitational field at P due to the element dm is

  dgx=Gdmr2i^

  dm=MLdx

Distance to the point on the axis:

  r=x0x

  dgx={GML(x0x)2dx}i^

(b)

To determine

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Mass of the rod =M

Length of the rod =L

Length of an element of the rod =dx

Mass of an element of the rod =dm

Formula used:

The element produces a gravitational field at a point x0 on the x axis in the region x0>L is given by dg0=GML(x0x)2dx .

Calculation:

  gx=GML0Ldx(x0x)2i^gx={GML[1(x0x)]0L}i^gx=GMxo(x0L)i^

Conclusion:

The total gravitational field at the point x0 due to the rod is: gx=GMxo(x0L)i^

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Mass of the rod =M

Length of the rod =L

Length of an element of the rod =dx

Mass of an element of the rod =dm

Formula used:

Force of gravity

  F=mg

Where, m is the mass and gis the acceleration due to gravity.

The total gravitational field at the point x0 due to the rod is: gx=GMxo(x0L)i^

Calculation:

By using the definition of gravitational field and the result from part (b) to express Fg at x=x0 is:

  Fg=m0gxFg=GMm0x0(x0L)i^

Conclusion:

The gravitational force on a point particle of mass m0 at x0 is Fg=GMm0x0(x0L)i^

(d)

To determine

To Show:For x0>>L , the field of the rod approximates the field of a point particle of mass M at x=0 .

A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
