If either a simple or a compound pendulum is used to determine experimentally the acceleration of gravity g, difficulties are encountered. In the case of the simple pendulum, the string is not truly weightless, while in the case of the compound pendulum, the exact location of the mass center is difficult to establish. In the case of a compound pendulum, the difficulty can be eliminated by using a reversible, or Kater, pendulum. Two knife edges A and B are placed so that they are obviously not at the same distance from the mass center G, and the distance l is measured with great precision. The position of a counterweight D is then adjusted so that the period of oscillation τ obtained is equal to that of a true simple pendulum of length l and that g 4π2 l/τ.
A steel cable whose cross-sectional area is 2.5 cm2
supports a 1000-kg elevator. The elastic limit of the
cable is 3 x108 Pa.
What is the maximum upward acceleration that can
be given the elevator if the tension in the cable is to
be no more than 20% of the elastic limit?
a.

b.
If the acceleration of the elevator upward is 6
what is the tension force in the cable?
1. (bold type indicates a vector) An object of mass m = 10 kg
may rotate in a vertical plane about the fixed point P under
the action of gravity. The distance d from the point P to the
center of mass C is d = 0.5 m. The moment of inertia Ie
about the center of mass C is unknown. The object starts at
rest in the position shown and is then released. At the
instant of release the acceleration of the center of mass is
measured to be a, = (-5 m/sec²)j (i.e., downward). Use the
given information to determine the moment of inertià I,
about the center of mass. Use g = 10 m/sec?.
