A solid sphere, made of acrylic plastic with a density of 1.1 g/cm3,1.1 g/cm3, has a radius of 5.0 cm.5.0 cm. A very small "eyelet" is screwed into the surface of the sphere and a horizontal support rod is passed through the eyelet, allowing the sphere to pivot around this fixed axis, as shown in the figure. If the sphere is displaced slightly from equilibrium on the surface of Earth, determine the period ?T of its harmonic motion when it is released.
NASA trains astronauts to deal with weightlessness(and its associated nausea) by flying them in the “vomit comet,”a modified KC-135 airplane that flies in an oscillating path with aperiod of 72 seconds and a maximum acceleration of magnitude9.81 m>s2. What is the amplitude of the airplane’s oscillation, assuming it undergoes simple harmonic motion?
Two blocks, with masses M1 = 2.10 kg and M2 = 9.20 kg, and a spring with spring constant k = 463 N/m are arranged on a horizontal, frictionless surface as shown in the Figure.
