(a) L = 0·73 m

(b) 4·39 × $10^{-3}$ J

Explanation:

(a) From the figure, consider the torque about the point where the rod is attached because if we consider another point then there will be hinge forces acting on the rod at the point of attachment

Let L m be the length of the rod and β be the angle between the rod and the vertical

Let α be the angular acceleration of the rod

As the force of gravity acts at the centre so from the figure, the torque about the point of attachment will be 0·53 × g ×(L ÷ 2) ×sinβ

Assuming that the value of amplitude of this oscillation to be small

As torque = moment of inertia × angular acceleration

0·53 × g ×(L ÷ 2) ×sinβ = ((0·53 × L²) ÷ 3) × α (∵ moment of inertia of the rod from the point of attachment)

For small oscillations, α = ω² × β

After substituting the value of α and solving we get

ω = √((3 × g) ÷ (2 × L))

Time period = (2 × π) ÷ ω = (2 × π) ÷ √((3 × g) ÷ (2 × L))

∴ (2 × π) ÷ √((3 × g) ÷ (2 × L)) = 1·4

Substituting the value of g as 9·8 m/s² and solving we get

L = 0·73 m

(b) At the maximum amplitude condition the velocity will be 0 and potential energy will be maximum and maximum kinetic energy will be attained at the lowest point and hinge forces will not do work as the point of attachment is not moving

∴ Taking the reference for finding the potential energy as the lowest point

Maximum potential energy = Maximum kinetic energy As total energy is constant, since there is no dissipative force

Maximum potential energy = (0·53 × g × L ×(1 - cosβ)) ÷ 2 (∵ increment in height is (L × (1 - cosβ)) ÷ 2

∴ Maximum potential energy = (0·53 × g × L ×(1 - cosβ)) ÷ 2 After substituting the value we get

Maximum potential energy = 4·39 × $10^{-3}$ J

∴ Maximum kinetic energy = 4·39 × $10^{-3}$ J

Answer from: Quest

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.

Aspecial electronic sensor is embedded in the seat of a car that takes riders around a circular loop-the-loop ride at an amusement park. the sensor measures the magnitude of the normal force that the seat exerts on a rider. the loop-the-loop ride is in the vertical plane and its radius is 23 m. sitting on the seat before the ride starts, a rider is level and stationary, and the electronic sensor reads 740 n. at the top of the loop, the rider is upside down and moving, and the sensor reads 370 n. what is the speed of the rider at the top of the loop?
