1. Two pendula of slightly different length oscillate next to each other. The short one oscillates with frequency 0.52 Hz and the longer one with frequency 0.50 Hz. If they start of in phase determine their phase difference after 75 s.
A mass is connect to a vertical revolving axle by two strings of length L, each making an angle of 45 degrees with the axle, as shown. Both the axle and mass are revolving with angular velocity w, Gravity is directed downward. The tension in the upper string is T_upper and the tension in the lower string is T_lower.Draw a clear free body diagram for mass m. Please include real forces only.Find the tensions in the upper and lower strings, T_upper and T_lower
