A bead of mass m is made to slide around on a ring of radius R standing on its side. The bead is attached to one end of a spring with string constant k,

and the other end of the spring is attached to one point on the ring, halfway up one side. There is gravity, g, and you may ignore friction. For simplicity, we will assume that the equilibrium length of the spring (when it has no tension) is =0

a) What is the combined potential function of the system, as a function of the angle θ?

b) What are the equilibrium points of the system, and are they stable or unstable?

Can,t figure out how to sett in the image. But it's a circle with a string attached half way up at the right side at the circule. And this sting is stuck to a mass that can slide along the circule. and there is a angel from the string point to the middel of the circule to the mass that is a delta angel.

A ring of mass m free to slide on a fixed smooth horizontal rod is attached to a particule of mass M kg by a inextensible string of length l. Initially both M and m are at rest and the string is vertical. A horizontal velocity v0 is imparted to the particule. The maximum height up to which the block will rise with resect to its initial position is (M = 2m) 1) v20 / 2g 2)  v20 / 4g 3)  v20...

Assume the earth is a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R. As strange as it may sound, if one can dig a long tunnel from one side of the Earth straight through the center and exit the other end, any object falling into the tunnel will appear at the other end (i.e. the opposite side of the Earth) in just 2530 s (42.2 min). Call that time t. Let t be a function of G, M, and R,...

A small block of mass m sits on the center of a dome of radius R. (Just to be perfectly clear, a dome is an upside-down hemisphere, like the top of a silo.) It is perfectly balanced at the moment, but then a slight breeze comes along and pushes it off in one direction. The rock will pick up speed as it slides down the side of the dome, and at some point it will end up going fast enough...

It is also attached to the ceiling with the wire making an angle of 53 degrees with the horizontal. Calculate tensions at each wire. (s the tension in the wire hinged to the ??wall and is the tension in the wire attached to the ceiling). 2.) A 5.0 kg wood block is on ice being pulled...
Finding the Spring Constant We can describe an oscillating mass in terms of its position, velocity,...
Finding the Spring Constant We can describe an oscillating mass in terms of its position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time. We can also describe the system from an energy perspective. In this experiment, you will measure the position and velocity as a function of time for an oscillating mass and spring system, and from those data, plot the kinetic and potential energies of the system. Energy is present in three forms for the mass and spring system....

2. A ball of negligible size and a given mass is attached to a vertical spring that obeys Hooke's law. At equilibrium, its position and gravitational potential energy is chosen to be "zero". The mass is set in oscillation in a vertical direction. At what point during the oscillation will the ball-earth-spring system have the most negative gravitational potential energy? A. The gravitational potential energy will be the most negative at its lowest position from the earth. B. The gravitational...
