- Imagine you've constructed a pendulum at home and measured the length of the rope and the period. The goal here is to create a graph where the slope corresponds to the gravitational acceleration constant. For that you have to get an X and a Y. First, you have these 2 equations as a starting point: T= 2π/ω and ω= sqrt(g/L). Play with the equations to construct an equation for a linear graph with the form: Y=mX+b where the slope m=g. Identify clearly what X and Y represent. The equation should look like: ? = g(? + ?)arrow_forwardA harmonic oscillator has angular frequency w and amplitude A.

Note, this pre-lab asks you to do some algebra, and may be a bit tricky. I mgh Iball = / mr² Tarrow_forward
- Two blocks of masses m1=1.0 kg and m2=3 kg are connected by an ideal spring of force constant k=4 N/m and relaxed length L. If we make them oscillate horizontally on a frictionless surface, releasing them from rest after stretching the spring, what will be the angular frequency ω of the oscillation? Choose the closest option. Hint: Find the differential equation for spring deformation.arrow_forwardConsider a simple pendulum of length L with a mass m. Derive the angular frequency of oscillation for the pendulum when it is displaced by a small angle. Assume it is in a gravitational field with the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity equal to g. (That is, you need to find MOI and d for a simple pendulum and then use the equation for ω for a simple pendulum.)arrow_forwardA body of mass m is suspended by a rod of length L that pivots without friction (as shown). The mass is slowly lifted along a circular arc to a height h. a. Assuming the only force acting on the mass is the gravitational force, show that the component of this force acting along the arc of motion is F = mg sin u. b. Noting that an element of length along the path of the pendulum is ds = L du, evaluate an integral in u to show that the work done in lifting the mass to a height h is mgh.arrow_forward
