Chapter 14, Problem 72GP
Orangutans can move by brachiation, swinging like a pendulum beneath successive handholds. If an orangutan has arms that are 0.90 m long and repeatedly swings to a 20° angle, taking one swing immediately after another, estimate how fast it is moving in m/s.

A pendulum bob swings through an arc 40 cm long on its first swing. Each swing thereafter, it swings only 80% as far as on the previous swing. How far will it swing altogether before coming to a complete stop?
This time the pendulum is 1.04 m long. Suppose you start with the pendulum hanging vertically, at rest. You then give it a push so that it starts swinging with a speed of 1.29 m/s. What maximum angle (in degrees) will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down?
This time the pendulum is 2.42 m long. Suppose you start with the pendulum hanging vertically, at rest. You then give it a push so that it starts swinging with a speed of 2.68 m/s. What maximum angle (in degrees) will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down?

You pull the yoyo with a string that is 0.240 m long to the side through an angle of 5.5O and releases it. The motion of the yoyo is like that of a simple pendulum.

You are playing with a jumping rope with your best friend, each of you holding both ends of the rope. You are creating transverse waves with the rope by moving your hand up and down. The transverse waves on the rope have a speed of 8.00 m/s, amplitude of 0.0700 m, and wavelength of 0.320 m. The waves travel in the negative x direction, and at t = 0 the x = 0 end of the rope has its maximum upward displacement. (a) Find the frequency, period, and wave number of these waves.

We expect the bifurcation point, the point where the equation significance. As we shall see in Example 3.10, w= Vg/l is the oscilla- tion frequency, in radians per second, of a simple pendulum of length I. If the rotation frequency is less than this value, the pendulum can hang vertically. (It could also swing back and forth, executing pendulum mo- tion.) However, for a rotation frequency higher than the pendulum fre- quency, the pendulum will fly outward, unless it is precisely vertical. Can you see why this is so? motion suddenly has two solutions, has some special The moral of this example is that it is important to check that a mathe- matical solution makes good physical sense.
