Write the equations that describe the simple harmonic motion of a particle moving uniformly around a circle of radius8units, with linear speed 3units per second.
Show,by integration that the moment of inertia of a uniform thin rod AB of mass 3m and length 4a about an axis through one end and perpendicular to the plane of the rod, is 16ma2
The rod is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a smooth horizontal axis through its end A

The equation of motion for a damped harmonic oscillator is s(t) = Ae^(−kt) sin(ωt + δ),where A, k, ω, δ are constants. (This represents, for example, the position of springrelative to its rest position if it is restricted from freely oscillating as it normally would).(a) Find the velocity of the oscillator at any time t.(b) At what time(s) is the oscillator stopped?

- A particle of mass m described by one generalized coordinate q movesunder the influence of a potential V(q) and a damping force −2mγq˙ proportional to its velocity with the Lagrangian L = e2γt(1/2 * mq˙2 − V (q)) which gives the desired equation of motion. (a) Consider the following generating function: F = eγtqP - QP.Obtain the canonical transformation from (q,p) to (Q,P) and the transformed Hamiltonian K(Q,P,t). (b) Let V (q) = (1/2)mω2q2 be a harmonic potential with a natural frequency ω and note that the transformed Hamiltonian yields a constant of motion. Obtain the solution Q(t) for the damped oscillator in the under damped case γ < ω by solving Hamilton's equations in the transformed coordinates.

I know that all the trajectories continue to lose altitude, and that the pendulum goes from whirling clockwise over the top, loses energy, settles to a small oscillation, and eventually comes to rest at the bottom, but wasn't sure if this general description changes based on the variation of fixed points.arrow_forwardConsider a bob attached to a vertical string. At t = 0, the bob is displaced to a new position where thestring makes −8° with the vertical and is then released from rest.

The pendulum's position can be specified by its angle Φ from the equilbrium position. Prove that the pendulum's potential energy is U(ϕ)=mgl(1−cosϕ). Write down the total energy E as a function of Φ and ϕ˙. Show that by differentiating E with respect to t you can get the equation of motion for Φ. Solve for Φ(t). If you solve properly, you should find periodic motion. What is the period of the motion?arrow_forward
