A building in San Francisco has light fixtures consisting of small 2.35-kgkg bulbs with shades hanging from the ceiling at the end of light thin cords 1.50 mm long.
If a minor earthquake occurs, how many swings per second will these fixtures make?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
51. As you enter a fine restaurant, you realize that you
have accidentally brought a small electronic timer from
home instead of your cell phone. In frustration, you
drop the timer into a side pocket of your suit coat, not
realizing that the timer is operating. The arm of your
chair presses the light cloth of your coat against your
body at one spot. Fabric with a length L hangs freely
below that spot, with the timer at the bottom. At one
point during your dinner, the timer goes off and a
buzzer and a vibrator turn on and off with a frequency
of 1.50 Hz. It makes the hanging part of your coat swing
back and forth with remarkably large amplitude, draw-
ing everyone's attention. Find the value of L.
You just installed a new swing in your backyard. When you are swinging, you are 168 cm from the point where you attached the swing.
Calculate how long it will take for the swing to complete 4 complete cycles and post your result.

- In the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b. What is the initial period of the pendulum? c. The man saves himself by smearing food on his ropes so that rats chew through them. He does so when he has no more than 12 cycles before the pendulum will make contact with him. How much time does it take the rats to chew through the ropes?

When a kangaroo lands, much of the kinetic energy of motion is converted to elastic energy as the tendons stretch, returning to kinetic energy when the kangaroo again leaves the ground. If a hopping kangaroo increases its speed, it spends more time in the air with each bounce, but the contacttime with the ground stays approximately the same.
