In the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b. What is the initial period of the pendulum? c. The man saves himself by smearing food on his ropes so that rats chew through them. He does so when he has no more than 12 cycles before the pendulum will make contact with him. How much time does it take the rats to chew through the ropes? FIGURE P16.39
A weight is connected to a spring that is suspended vertically from the ceiling. If the weight is displaced downward from its equilibrium position and released, it will oscillate up and down. (a) If air resistance is neglected, will the total mechanical energy of the system (weight plus Earth plus spring) be conserved? (b) How many forms of potential energy are there for this situation?
A restaurant manager has decorated his retro diner by hanging (scratched) vinyl LP records from thin wires. The records have a mass of 180 g, a diameter of 12 in., and negligible thickness. The records oscillate as torsion pendulums. a. Records hung from a small hole near their rims have a period of roughly 3.5 s (Fig. P16.41A). What is the torsion spring constant of the wire? b. If a record is hung from its center hole using a wire of the same torsion spring constant (Fig. P16.41B), what is its period of oscillation? FIGURE P16.41
