A body of mass m is suspended by a rod of length L that pivots without friction (as shown). The mass is slowly lifted along a circular arc to a height h. a. Assuming the only force acting on the mass is the gravitational force, show that the component of this force acting along the arc of motion is F = mg sin u. b. Noting that an element of length along the path of the pendulum is ds = L du, evaluate an integral in u to show that the work done in lifting the mass to a height h is mgh.
A block of wood is floating in water; it is depressed slightly and then released to oscillate up and down. Assume that the top and bottom of the block are parallel planes which remain horizontal during the oscillations and that the sides of the block are vertical. Show that the period of the motion (neglecting friction) is 2π ph/g, where h is the vertical height of the part of the block under water when it is floating at rest. Hint: Recall that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of displaced water
A mass of 2 kg stretches a spring 10 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 10 sin(2t) N and moves in a medium that imparts a viscous force of 2 N when the speed of the mass is 6 cm/s. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 2 cm/s, find the displacement of the mass, measured in meters, at any time t.
