Chapter 1, Problem 1.29P
As described in a preceding problem, the coefficient of restitution of a volleyball, Cr = \JhJH, is determined for a range of impact velocities. The impact velocity is v, = y/2gH and is controlled by the dropping the ball from a known height H. Let the velocity immediately after impact be Vf = yj2 gh where h is the measured return height.
List the independent and dependent variables, parameters, and measured variables.

1) Is it possible to prescribe the velocity v0, so that the pendulum keeps rotating with alpha = pi/2 Explain clearly why? Given: L, g, and m.
2) After transient motion, the pendulum settles at steady state rotation atalpha = pi/3. Find the initial velocity v0. Given: L, g, m, sin(pi/3) = (squareroot(3)/2), cos(pi/3) = (1/2). [Hint: Use the conservation of energy and the 2nd Newton’s law.]
Somewhere DEEP BELOW THE EARTH's surface, at an UNKNOWN displacement from the Earth's center, a particle of mass m is dangled from a long string, length L; the particle oscillates along a small arc according to the differential equation d^2x/dt^2=-(pi^2/36)x. Here x refers to an angular displacement measured from the vertical and t refers to time.
The particle's mass is given by m=3kg. The length of the string is given by L=5 meters.
Whenever the particle arrives at a location of x=(pi/12) radians from the vertical, the particle has no instantaneous speed. On both sides of the vertical, that is, x=(pi/12) radians is repeatedly observed to be a 'turning point' for the particle's periodic motion.
1. Draw a clear FREE-BODY diagram of this particle at some arbitrary point during oscillation, making sure to label variables and constants described above.
2. Approximating to three significant digits if necessary, what is the angular frequency of this oscillator on a string?
3. Approximating…

- Pierce (1948) mechanically measured the frequency (the number of wing vibrations per second) of chirps (or pulses of sound) made by a striped ground cricket, at various ground temperatures. Since crickets are ectotherms (cold-blooded), the rate of their philosophical processes and their overall metabolism are influenced by temperature. Consequently, there is a reason to believe that temperature would have a profound affect on aspects of their behavior, such as chirp frequency. In general, it was found that crickets did not sing at temperatures colder than 60°F or warmer than 100°F. In the following data let X= chirps/sec for the striped ground cricket and Y= temperature in degrees of Fahrenheit.

The fluttering frequency f is a function of the wind speed V, the air density ρ, the acceleration of gravity g, the length of the banner L and the “area density” of the flag material ρA (with dimensions of ML-2 ). In order to estimate the flutter frequency of a large banner with L = 40 ft in a V = 30 ft/s wind, a small banner with L = 4 ft is to be tested in a wind tunnel.
