- We measure the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum. In successive measurements, the readings turn out to be 2.63s, 2.56s, 2.42s, 2.71s, and 2.80s. Calculate the absolute errors, relative error, or percentage error.arrow_forwardIt is said that Galileo discovered a basic principle of the pendulum - that the period is independent of the amplitude - by using his pulse to time the period of swinging lamps in the cathedral as they swayed in the breeze. Suppose that one oscillation of a swinging lamp takes 2 s. What maximum speed does the lamp have if its maximum angle from vertical is 50?arrow_forwardA pendulum has a period of 38.8 s. If you were to transfer this pendulum to the surface of Mars (where g is 3.71 meters per second squared), what would the period (in seconds) be?arrow_forward

Find the period of a pendulum 1.0 m long. b) The gravitational acceleration on the moon is approximately of the gravitational 1 acceleration at the surface of Earth. Determine the period of a pendulum 1.0 m long on the moon. c) Captain Mirk and Mr. Spark land on one of seven planets in the Alpha Beta system. Mr. Spark sets up a pendulum 1.0 m long, and Captain Mirk measures its period to be 1.304 s. Use the table to help you determine which planet they are on.

Pendulum A is a very small ball swinging at the end of a uniform massless bar. In pendulum B, half the mass is in the ball and half is in the uniform bar. Find the period of pendulum B for small oscillations. Express your answer in terms of the variables L, m, and appropriate constants.arrow_forwardThe disk is rotating horizontally, and the block has a weight of 2 lb. Friction between the block and the slot is negligibly small, and the block is at rest with respect to the disk while it is traveling with a constant speed of 12 ft/sec. If the spring has a stiffness of 2.5 lb/ft and an undeformed length of 1.25 ft, calculate the force that the spring exerts on the block. Present your answer in lb using 3 significant figures. k= 2.5 lb/ftarrow_forward
- Hello, can you also please include the formula that you used to solve this problem? Thank you!arrow_forwardA 1.2-kg mass oscillates according to the equationx(t)=0.18 cos(4.5t),where the position x(t) is measured in meters. a) What is the period, in seconds, of this mass? b) What is the maximum acceleration of the mass, in meters per square second?arrow_forwardIn this experiment, you have a spring of spring constant 62N/m. When a small mass is oscillating on the spring, measurement data shows that the amplitude of the oscillation is 4.27cm; while the highest speed of the mass is 4.04m/s. What is the mass of the object (in unit of gram)?arrow_forward
- The period p of a pendulum, or the time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete swing, varies directly as the square root of the length L of the pendulum. If the period of a pendulum is 1.1 s when the length is 2 ft, find the period when the length is 3 ft. Round to the nearest hundredth.arrow_forwardThe oscillatory movement of a simple pendulum is a characteristic of the regular repetition of displacements around an equilibrium position. The pendulum swings due to the restored force of gravity, which seeks to bring the mass back to the equilibrium point. The oscillatory behavior is described by a trigonometric solution, which relates the pendulum's position to time, considering its amplitude, frequency and initial phase. Statement: A simple pendulum moves according to the following question:y(t) = A.sin(ωt + φ)In this question, y(t) is the horizontal position of the pendulum, A is its amplitude, ω is its angular velocity, given by ω = 2πf, and φ is the initial phase of the movement, in radians. Since the initial phase of the movement is equal to 0 and its angular velocity is π/2 rad/s, the oscillation frequency of this pendulum is correctly given by the alternative: a) 2.0Hz b) 1.5Hz c) 1.0Hz d) 0.5Hz e) 0.25Hzarrow_forwardA body of mass m is suspended by a rod of length L that pivots without friction (as shown). The mass is slowly lifted along a circular arc to a height h. a. Assuming the only force acting on the mass is the gravitational force, show that the component of this force acting along the arc of motion is F = mg sin u. b. Noting that an element of length along the path of the pendulum is ds = L du, evaluate an integral in u to show that the work done in lifting the mass to a height h is mgh.arrow_forward
