The amount of time it takes for a pendulum to swing “to-and-fro” through one complete cycle is called the “period” and is calculated using the following equation:
where
T = period in seconds, I = mass moment of inertia, m = mass of pendulum in kilograms
g = gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s2, h = effective length of pendulum in meters
What is the appropriate unit for I if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? Please show all of your work.

- Two small objects of mass mo and a rotating platform of radius R and rotational inertia I, about its center compose a single system. Students use the system to conduct two experiments. The objects are assumed to be point masses. Experiment 1 mo R mo Fo Figure 1 Each object of mass mo is placed a distance rị away from the center of the platform such that both masses are on opposite sides of the platform. A constant tangential force Fo is applied to the edge of the platform for a time Ato, as shown in Figure 1. The system is initially at rest. Experiment 2 R r2 r2 Fo Figure 2 Each object of mass mo is placed a distance r2 away from the center of the platform such that both masses are on opposite sides of the platform.

Hooke's law states that the force (F, in newtons) applied to a spring is equal to the stiffness of the spring (k, in newtons per meter) times the displacement {x, in meters): F= kx. ;Chapter 10, Problem 161CA, Refer to the Worksheet shown, set up to calculate the displacement of a spring. Hooke's law states Cell A3 contains a data validation list of springs. The stiffness (cell 83) and maximum displacement (cell C3) values are found using a VLOOKUP function linked to the table shown at the right side of the worksheet. These data are then used to determine the displacement of the spring at various mass values. A warning is issued if the displacement determined is greater than the maximum displacement for the spring. Use this information to determine the answers to the following questions. Write the expression, in Excel notation, that you would type into cell 86 to determine the displacement of the spring.…arrow_forward@AB = 4 rad/s %AB = 6 rad/s² 0.5 m 45° B/C 1 m 60° IC Now let's look closer at Figure 2 from the prior question. By drawing lines that pass through points B and C which are perpendicular to their velocities (the red lines in the figure above) we can locate the IC at the intersection (the star). Now we can use some basic trig to figure out the distance TB/Ic labeled in the figure, which is the radial distance from the IC to point B. I've drawn in a green dashed line that creates two right triangles to help with the trig. What is the distance TB/IC? Give your answer in m but don't type the unit.arrow_forward
