Question

A 0.420 kg pendulum bobpasses through the lowest part of its path at a speedof 3.70 m/s. (a) What is the tension in the pendulum cable at this point if thependulum is 80.0 cm long?
N

(b) When the pendulum reaches its highest point, what angle doesthe cable make with the vertical?
°

(c) What is the tension in the pendulum cable when the pendulumreaches its highest point?

(c) What is the tension in the pendulum cable when the pendulumreaches its highest point?
N

Explanation / Answer

a) tension in the cable is due to weight andcentripetal force acting on the bob             T = mg + 4^2. mr / t^2 m = mass of the pendulam t = time periof of pendulam b) if the angle made by the pedulam be =            mgL(1-cos) = mv^2 / 2                 L = length of pedulam     v = velocity of bob at mean position from the above equation we can sovle for c) tension in the pendulum cable when the pendulum reaches itshighest point be T'                    T' =  = mgcos + 4^2. mr / t^2 .
