Let's consider a simple pendulum, consisting of a point mass m, fixed to the end of a massless rod of length l, whose other end is fixed so that the mass can swing freely in a vertical plane. The pendulum's position can be specified by its angle Φ from the equilbrium position. Prove that the pendulum's potential energy is U(ϕ)=mgl(1−cosϕ). Write down the total energy E as a function of Φ and ϕ˙. Show that by differentiating E with respect to t you can get the equation of motion for Φ. Solve for Φ(t). If you solve properly, you should find periodic motion. What is the period of the motion?
In the above question let us consider the position of mass when the spring is relaxed as x = 0, and the left to right direction as the positive direction of the x-axis.Provide x as a function of time t for the oscillating mass, if at the moment we start the stopwatch (t = 0), the mass is:( i ) at the mean position,( ii ) at the maximum stretched position, and( iii ) at the maximum compressed position.
