A pendulum has a length 1 m and a mass 1 kg. Assume Earth free fall acceleration equal to 10 m/s^2. When the pendulum oscillates, the maximal deflection angle is +/- 1 degree.
a) If the pendulum moves to Jupiter, what would be the period?
b) Suppose at time t=0 the pendulum passes the lowest point 1.10 What is the pendulum’s velocity at t=0?
c) What is the pendulum’s kinetic energy at t =0?
d) Sketch the deflection angle as a function of time between t =0 and t = 10.
Length, L=1 m
Mass, m=1 Kg
Earth's gravitational acceleration, g =10m/s2
a)
Period of pendulum at the surface of Jupiter
Period of simple pendulum,
gJupitor = 25 m/s2
=1.256 s
