Q1 The bob of a simple pendulum of length I is released from point P. What is the angle made by the net acceleration of the bob with the string at point Q.
Dear Anurag,
A typical simple pendulum consists of a heavy pendulum bob (mass = M) suspended from a light string. It is generally assumed that the mass of the string is negligible. If the bob is pulled away from the vertical with some angle, q, and released so that the pendulum swings within a vertical plane, the period of the pendulum is given as:
T = 2p (L/g)1/2(1 + 1/4 sin2q/2 + 9/16sin4q/2 + ...) Equation 1
where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to earth''s gravity. Note only the first three terms in the infinite series is
given in the above equation. The period is defined as the time required for the pendulum to complete one oscillation. That is, if the pendulum is released at some point, P, the period is defined as the time required for the pendulum to swing along its path and return to point P.
The above formula for the pendulum''s period is greatly simplified if we limit the initial angle q to small values. If q is small, we can approximate the period of the pendulum with the following expression. T = 2p (L/g)1/2 Equation 2
Note that the period in this expression is independent of the pendulum''s mass as initial angle, q. It is important to understand that the above equation is valid only in the small angle approximation. If the magnitude of the displacement is sufficiently small, and if we neglet the effects of friction and air resistance, the motion of the mass is relatively simple and is called simple harmonic motion.
