- 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 P16.39arrow_forwardParcels of air (small volumes of air) in a stable atmosphere (where the temperature increases with height) can oscillate up and down, due to the restoring force provided by the buoyancy of the air parcel. The frequency of the oscillations are a measure of the stability of the atmosphere. Assuming that the acceleration of an air parcel can be modeled as 2zt2=g(z)0zz , prove that z=z0etN2 is a solution, where N is known as the Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Note that in a stable atmosphere, the density decreases with height and parcel oscillates up and down.arrow_forwardEach piston of an engine makes a sharp sound every other revolution of the engine.

Therefore, the pendulum needs to have a very accurate period for the clock to keep time accurately. As a fine adjustment of the pendulum’s period, many grandfather clocks have an adjustment nut on a bolt at the bottom of the pendulum disk. Screwing this nut inward or outward changes the mass distribution of the pendulum by moving the pendulum disk closer to or farther from the axis of rotation at O. Let mp = 0.7 kg and r = 0.1 m Model the pendulum as a uniform disk of radius r and mass mp at the end of a rod of negligible mass and length L – r, and assume that the oscillations of θ are small. If the pendulum disk is initially at a distance L = 0.85 m from the pin at O, how much would the period of the pendulum change if the adjustment nut with a lead of 0.5 mm was rotated four complete rotations closer to the disk? In addition, how much time would the clock gain or lose in a 24 h…arrow_forward
