A hoop of radius RH and mass mH and a solid cylinder of radius Rc and mass mc are released simultaneously at the top of a plane ramp of length L inclined at angle θ above horizontal. Which reaches the bottom first, and what is the speed of each there?
A 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.
In the case of a damped pendulum, how would the dyanmics change as a fixed point varied from being a stable spiral, to a stable degenerate node, to a stable node? I know that all the trajectories continue to lose altitude, and that the pendulum goes from whirling clockwise over the top, loses energy, settles to a small oscillation, and eventually comes to rest at the bottom, but wasn't sure if this general description changes based on the variation of fixed points.
While visiting the Albert Michelson exhibit at Clark University, you notice that a chandelier (which looks remarkably like a simple pendulum) swings back and forth in the breeze once every T = 6.6 seconds. Frequency is = 1/6.6 Angular Velocity = 0.952 Length of the chandelier = 10.81 That evening, while hanging out in J.J Thompson's House O' Blues, you notice that (coincidentally) there is a chandelier identical in every way to the one at the Michelson exhibit except this one swings back and forth 0.11 seconds slower, so the period is T + 0.11 Seconds.

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The pendulum is pulled to one side so that the rod is at an angle θ from the vertical, and released from rest. At this point, what is the linear acceleration of the sphere?

A physical pendulum composed of a solid sphere with radius R = 0.500m, is hanged from a ceiling by string of length equal to radius. What are the (a) angular frequency, (b) period, (c) frequency of the system for small angles of oscillation? For solid sphere Icm = 2/5 mr2. Also, why is the distance of the center of mass of the system from the point of oscillation 3R/2?
Consider a situation of simple harmonic motion in which the distance between the endpoints is 2.372.37 m and exactly 88 cycles are completed in 20.320.3 s. When this motion is viewed as a projection of circular motion, what is the radius, r, and angular velocity, ω, of the circular motion?
A ball attached to a spring is raised 2 feet and released with an initial vertical velocity of 3 feet per second. The distance of the ball from its rest position after t seconds is given by d = 2 cos t + 3 sin t. Show that 2 cos t + 3 sin t = √13 cos(t - θ),where θ lies in quadrant I and tanθ =( 3/2). Use the identity to find the amplitude and the period of the ball’s motion.
