A pendulum consists of a 2.0 m long steel wire supporting a lentil of mass 20 kg. If the pendulum is released from a position where it makes an angle of 60 with the vertical, find the difference in length of the wire when the bob is in the initial position and when it passes through its lowest position.
Consider a conical pendulum with a bob of mass m 74.0 kg on a string of length L 10.0 m that makes an angle of 08.00 with the vertical. (Consider + to be towards the center of the circular path and + to be upward.) (a) Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the string on the pendulum. NJ Ni+
A coin having a mass of m = 12 g, a thickness of h = 0.17 cm, and a radius of r = 1.5 cm has a small hole drilled through it so that it can be suspended from a thin wire and worn as an earring or pendant. The hole is at a distance of 7/8 r from the center of the coin as shown above. When suspended from this hole, the coin is a physical pendulum that swings back and forth with this hole as its axis of rotation. Assuming that the hole does not appreciably change the center of mass of the coin, determine the period of this physical pendulum.
