- In the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b. What is the initial period of the pendulum? c. The man saves himself by smearing food on his ropes so that rats chew through them. He does so when he has no more than 12 cycles before the pendulum will make contact with him. How much time does it take the rats to chew through the ropes? FIGURE P16.39arrow_forward22.
