During a relaxed walking pace, a person's leg can be thought of as a physical pendulum of length L that pivots about the hip. What is the relaxed walking frequency in Hz for a person whose leg is of length 1.387m. In this approximation, assume the leg is a uniform rod ("uniform" implying the leg has a uniform mass density along its length). Note: In the space below, please enter you numerical answer. Do not enter any units. If you enter units, your answer will be marked as incorrect.
Hello, can you help me solve this problem? I need to know the formula and complete and detailed solution of this to be my review on my upcoming exam. I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Pretty please, Thank you in advance.
Starting with a diagram and fundmantal definitions and/or principles, show how the propagation of a
wave pulse can be understood/modeled as a phase-staggered collection of identical oscillators. The more steps
and explanation you include, the more thorough and clear your analysis,
