A pendulum clock has a heavy bob supported on a very thin steel rod that is 1.00000 m long at 21.0 ∘C.

a)To 6 significant figures, what is the clock's period? Assume that g is 9.80 m/s2 exactly.

b)To 6 significant figures, what is the clock's period if the temperature increases by 13.0 ∘C? Assume that coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 1.20×10−5 K−1 .

c)The clock keeps perfect time at 21.0 ∘C. At 34.0 ∘C after how many hours will the clock be off by 1.00 s ?

Expert Solution

a)
Time period, T = 2 SQRT[L/g]
Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
T = 2 x SQRT[1.00000/9.80]
= 2.00709 s

b)
Increase in length, L = LT
Where is the coefficient of expansion and T is the increase in temperature.
L = 1.00000 x 1.20 x 10^-5 x 13
= 0.00016 m

New length, L' = L + L
= 1.00000 + 0.00016
= 1.00016 m

New time period, T' = 2 x SQRT[L'/g]
= 2 x SQRT[1.00016/9.8]
= 2.00725 s

c)
T' - T = 2.00725 s - 2.00709 s
= 0.00016 s

Time exceed in 1 s = 0.00016 / 2.00725
= 0.000078 s

Time taken to reach 1 s = 1/ 0.000078
= 12822 s
= 12822 / 3600 h
= 3.56 h

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius 36 cm and mass 1.8 kg that is attached to a long, thin rod of negligible mass. The pendulum swings freely about an axis perpendicular to the rod and through the end of the rod opposite the disk. The pendulum should be designed so that its period is 2 s for small oscillations when the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2. (a) What should the length...

A pendulum is constructed from a thin, rigid, and uniform rod with a small sphere attached to the end opposite the pivot. This arrangement is a good approximation to a simple pendulum (period = 5.87 s), because the mass of the sphere (lead) is much greater than the mass of the rod (aluminum). When the sphere is removed, the pendulum is no longer a simple pendulum, but is then a physical pendulum. What is the period of the physical pendulum?

A ballistic pendulum consists of a thin rod AB (length = 2.0 m; mass = 1.14 kg) that is rigidly attached to a solid sphere that has a center C, radius = 0.4 m, and mass = 2.45 kg. A bullet (mass = 0.01 kg) is fired at point C with a speed of 675 m/s. Determine the amount of kinetic energy lost by the system due to the impact.

A ballistic pendulum consists of a large heavy mass, M on the end of a very light rod of length L. The rod is free to pivot at the top and the mass is attached at the bottom, so it hangs like a pendulum. A second mass, m, is fired horizontally at speed v straight into the large mass, and they stick together. The pendulum swings to a maximum angle ?m. a)Show that you can measure v by measuring ?m,...

1.A physical pendulum is formed by a two-part structure. One part is a thin uniform rod of mass 0.72 kg which is free to swing about an axis at one end. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the plane of the rod's swing. The second part of the structure is a small mass located at the free end of the rod (further from the axis), which has mass 0.22 kg. Treat the small mass as a point mass. The...

Attached to each end of a thin steel rod of length 1.10 m and mass 6.60 kg is a small ball of mass 1.07 kg. The rod is constrained to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its midpoint. At a certain instant, it is rotating at 39.0 rev/s. Because of friction, it slows to a stop in 32.0 s. Assuming a constant retarding torque due to friction, find the following. A) Angular Acceleration rad/sec^2 B) Retarding...

1. You want to design a pendulum for a grandfather clock so that it has a period of 2.00 seconds (so that one “tick” plus one “tock” occur during one complete period). The pendulum has a heavy 8.00-kg bob. (Throughout this problem, assume an ideal simple pendulum: the pendulum’s arm has negligible mass, the bob can be approximated as a point-mass, the initial angle of displacement is small, and there is negligible friction.) a.) If you want the clock to...

A clock pendulum, made of aluminum, has a period of 1.00 s s and is accurate at 8.0°C. If the clock is used in a climate where the temperature averages 36.0°C what correction is necessary at the end of a 40 day period to the time given by the clock?

QUESTION 1: A thin uniform rod has a length of 0.400 m and is rotating in a circle on a frictionless table. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the length of the rod at one end and is stationary. The rod has an angular velocity of 0.35 rad/s and a moment of inertia about the axis of 2.90×10−3 kg⋅m2 . A bug initially standing on the rod at the axis of rotation decides to crawl out to the other...
