6) To form a pendulum, a 0.092 kg ball is attached to one end of a rod of length 0.62 m and negligible mass, and the other end of the rod is mounted on a pivot. The rod is rotated until it is straight up, and then it is released from rest so that it swings down around the pivot. When the ball reaches its lowest point, what are (a) its speed and (b) the tension in the rod? Next, the rod is rotated until it is horizontal, and then it is again released from rest. (c) At what angle from the vertical does the tension in the rod equal the weight of the ball? (d) If the mass of the ball is increased, does the answer to (c) increase, decrease, or remain the same?

This time the pendulum is 1.04 m long. Suppose you start with the pendulum hanging vertically, at rest. You then give it a push so that it starts swinging with a speed of 1.29 m/s. What maximum angle (in degrees) will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down?
Suppose that a simple pendulum consists of a small 60.0 g bob at the end of a cord of negligible mass. If the angle u between the cord and the vertical is given by u = (0.0800 rad) cos[(4.43 rad/s)t + f], what are (a) the pendulum’s length and (b) its maximum kinetic energy?

A thin rod of length 0.632 m and mass 66.5 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing like a pendulum, passing through its lowest position with angular speed 1.35 rad/s. Neglecting friction and air resistance, find (a) the rod's kinetic energy at its lowest position and (b) how far above that position the center of mass rises.
A simple pendulum, consisting of a mass of 2.0 kg, is attached to the end of string with unknown length. The mass is held out horizontally, and then released from rest. What must be the length of the string (m) if the speed of the mass at the bottom of the swing is 8.4 m/s

You pull on a string with a horizontal force of magnitude Fyb = 44 N that is attached to a block of mass mb = 6.1 kg, then to the axle of a solid cylinder of mass mc = 4.7 kg and radius r = 0.4 m, then to a spring of spring constant k = 135 N/m. This is all done on an inclined plane where there is friction ( μs = 0.61 and μk = 0.34 ), and the incline angle is θ = 30 degrees. Everything starts at rest, and the spring is unstretched. The block slides down the plane, the cylinder rolls down the plane (without slipping), and the spring stretches. How far have you pulled the block and cylinder when everything stops? The velocity when it has traveled 44 cm down the plane is 2.030 m/s.
