1
Poll Question The period of a spring simple harmonic oscillator depends on: (Add together the numbers for all correct choices and text in the sum.) 1.The spring constant k. 2.The mass m. 4.The maximum amplitude A. 8.The gravitational field g.
2
Pendulums almost follow Hooke’s law § 14.4–14.6
3
Angular Oscillators Angular Hooke’s law: = – Angular Newton’s second law: = I So – = I General Solution: = cos( t + ) where 2 = / I ; and are constants
4
Simple Pendulum L m Massless, inextensible string/rod Point-mass bob
5
Poll Question The period of a simple pendulum depends on: (Add together the numbers for all correct choices and enter the sum.) 1.The length L. 2.The mass m. 4.The maximum amplitude . 8.The gravitational field g.
6
Simple Pendulum Force F T = –w T = –mg sin L m T = w R + mv 2 /L w = mg w T = mg sin w R = mg cos
7
Simple Pendulum Torque F T = –w T = –mg sin = LF T = –L mg sin Restoring torque L m
8
Small-Angle Approximation For small (in radians) sin tan
9
Simple Pendulum = –L mg sin –L mg = – = Lmg I = mL 2 L m 2 = / I = = g/L Lmg mL 2 is independent of mass m ( is not the angular speed of the pendulum)
10
Board Work Find the length of a simple pendulum whose period is 2 s. About how long is the pendulum of a grandfather clock?
11
Think Question An extended object with its center of mass a distance L from the pivot, has a moment of inertia A.greater than B.the same as C.less than a point mass a distance L from the pivot.
12
Poll Question If a pendulum is an extended object with its center of mass a distance L from the pivot, its period is A.longer than B.the same as C.shorter than The period of a simple pendulum of length L.
