Concept explainers
To calculate:
The total distance of the ship coming to the rest.
Answer to Problem 13CFU
The total distance traveled by the bob before coming to rest is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Traveling distance of ship
Calculation:
The lengths of the distance traveled by the bob of pendulum of each forms a geometric sequence having the first term
Now, find the distance traveled by the bob coming to rest. So, it means first find the sum of infinite geometric series having the first term
As know that the sum of infinite series having the first term
Plug in
Hence, the total distance traveled by the bob before coming to rest is
