Explanation of Solution

Given:

The force acting on the particle is (F0r)(yi^xj^) and r is the distance of the particle from the origin.

Formula used:

The vector notation of vector A is A=Axi^+Ayj^ .

Write the expression for magnitude of any vector.

  |A|=(Ax2+Ay2)

Here, Ax is the x component of the vector and Ay is the y component of the vector.

Calculation:

Write the expression for the magnitude of the force.

  |F|=(F0ry)2+(F0rx)2=(F0r)(y2+x2)

Substitute r for (y2+x2) in the above expression.

  |F|=F0

Take the dot product between the force and (xi^+yj^) .

  F.(xi^+yj^)=((F0r)(yi^xj^)).(xi^+yj^)=(F0r)(yxxy)=0

Conclusion:

Thus, the magnitude of the force is F0 and its direction is perpendicular to r=xi^+yj^ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The particle is moving around a circle of radius 5.0m centred at the origin. The force acting on the particle is (F0r)(yi^xj^) .

Formula Used:

Write the expression for the work done by a force on a particle.

  W=θ1θ2F.dr   ........ (1)

Here, W is the work done, F is the force applied, θ1 is the initial angular displacement of the particle and θ2 is the final angular displacement of the particle.

Calculation:

Write the expression for the instantaneous position of the particle on the circumference of the circle.

  r=(xi^+yj)=rcosθi^+rsinθj^

Here, r is the magnitude of the radial vector and θ is the instantaneous value of the angular position of the paticle.

  dr=(rsinθi^+rcosθj^)dθ

Rearrange the expression for force.

  F=(F0r)(rsinθi^rcosθj^)

Substitute (F0r)(rsinθi^rcosθj^) for F and (rsinθi^+rcosθj^)dθ for r , 0 for θ1 and 2π for θ2 in expression (1).

  W=02π(F0r)(rSinθi^rCosθj^).(rSinθi^+rCosθj^)dθ=F0r02πdθ=2πF0r

Substitute 5.0m for r in the above expression.

  W=(10π)F0

Conclusion:

Thus, the magnitude of the work done by the force on the particle is (10π)F0 .

Examine the data and % error values in Data Table 2 where the mass of the pendulum bob increased but the angular displacement and length of the simple pendulum remained constant. Describe whether or not your data shows that the period of the pendulum depends on the mass of the pendulum bob, to within a reasonable percent error.
Please graph, my software isn't working - Data Table 4 of Period, T vs √L . (Note: variables are identified for graphing as y vs x.) On the graph insert a best fit line or curve and display the equation on the graph.   Thank you!
