Chapter 14, Problem 55P
(II) A plywood disk of radius 20.0cm and mass 2.20kg has a small hole drilled through it, 2.00cm from its edge (Fig. 14–37). The disk is hung from the wall by means of a metal pin through the hole, and is used as a pendulum. What is the period of this pendulum for small oscillations?

- Check Your Understanding Identify one way you could decrease the maximum velocity of a simple harmonic oscillator.arrow_forwardShow that the time rate of change of mechanical energy for a damped, undriven oscillator is given by dE/dt = bv2 and hence is always negative. To do so, differentiate the expression for the mechanical energy of an oscillator, E=12mv2+12kx2, and use Equation 12.28.arrow_forwardRefer to the problem of the two coupled oscillators discussed in Section 12.2. Show that the total energy of the system is constant. (Calculate the kinetic energy of each of the particles and the potential energy stored in each of the three springs, and sum the results.) Notice that the kinetic and potential energy terms that have 12 as a coefficient depend on C1 and 2 but not on C2 or 2. Why is such a result to be expected?arrow_forward
- Most harmonic oscillators are damped and, if undriven, eventually come to a stop. Why?arrow_forwardAn automobile with a mass of 1000 kg, including passengers, settles 1.0 cm closer to the road for every additional 100 kg of passengers. It is driven with a constant horizontal component of speed 20 km/h over a washboard road with sinusoidal bumps. The amplitude and wavelength of the sine curve are 5.0 cm and 20 cm, respectively. The distance between the front and back wheels is 2.4 m. Find the amplitude of oscillation of the automobile, assuming it moves vertically as an undamped driven harmonic oscillator. Neglect the mass of the wheels and springs and assume that the wheels are always in contact with the road.arrow_forwardGive an example of a simple harmonic oscillator, specifically noting how its frequency is independent of amplitude.arrow_forward
