A simple pendulum consisting of a bob attached to a cord oscillates in a vertical plane with a period of 1.3 s. Assuming simple harmonic motion and knowing that the maximum velocity of the bob is 0.4 m/s, determine (a) the amplitude of the motion in degrees, (b) the maximum

a) = 11.29°

b) = 1.93 m/s²

Explanation:

θ = θ(m) sin(w(n).t + Φ)

w(n) = 2π / t

w(n) = 6.284 / 1.3

w(n) = 4.834 rad/s

θ• = θ(m).w(n).cos (w(n).t + Φ)

θ•(m) = θ(m).w(n)

v(m) = L.θ•(m)

v(m) = L.θ(m).w(n)

θ(m) = v(m) / L.w(n)

For a simple pendulum,

w(n) = √(g / l)

l = g / w(n)²

l = 9.8 / 4.834²

l = 9.8 / 23.368

l = 0.42 m

Remember, θ(m) = v(m) / l.w(n)

θ(m) = 0.4 / (0.42 * 4.834)

θ(m) = 0.4 / 2.03

θ(m) = 0.197 rad

Converting to °, we have

0.197 * 360 * 1/2π

0.197 rad = 11.29°

Thus, the amplitude of the motion is 11.29°

a(t) = l.θ(t)

Tangential acceleration occurs when θ(t) is maximum, so

θ(t) = -θ(m).w(n)².sin(w(n)t + Φ)

θ(t max) = θ(m).w(n)²

a(t max) = l.θ(m).w(n)²

a(t max) = 0.42 * 0.197 * 4.834²

a(t max) = 1.93 m/s²

hail is a solid form of precipitation composed of large, layered ice particles called pellets that often have spherical shapes. this phenomenon occurs during thunderstorms in the could type known as cumulus

hope this you out ^w^
