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.
