SHM
« on: July 18, 2010, 10:45:14 am »
Q. A simple pendulum of length 1 m swing with s.h.m. through a semi vertical angle of 5°. If the mass of the pendulum bob is 15 g.
Calculate:
(i) its period of oscillation
(ii) the amplitude of the oscillation
(iii) the maximum acceleration of the bob

From the little knowledge of SHM that I have...

i) w(omega)= \sqrt(g/L)
                = \sqrt(10/1)
                 
T= 2\pi/ w = 2\pi/  \sqrt(10/1)
                             =1.99s
ii)
    sin\theta= -x/L
    x(max amp)= 0.96 m


iii)max accn = -w2A(amplitude)
                = - ( \sqrt(g/L))2 X 0.96
                =-10X 0.96
                =-9.6ms-2
