Problem 2) Consider a simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m suspended by a massless rigid rod of length l. (a) Find the Hamiltonian of the system by following the prescription given in the textbook. (b) Find the Hamilton's equations of motion.
Suppose you have a pendulum consisting of a small bob of mass m on a long (massless) string. The figure below shows the pendulum endpoints as well as its equilibrium position as it swings back and forth. Below that, acceleration and velocity vectors during the motion are shown for five points of the motion; the endpoints, the equilibrium position and somewhere between the equilibrium position and each endpoint Left side Middle Right side Motion (bob is the system) Cl Cl...
The length of a simple pendulum is 0.75 m and the mass of the particle (the "bob") at the end of the cable is 0.33 kg. The pendulum is pulled away from its equilibrium position by an angle of 9.1° and released from rest. Assume that friction can be neglected and that the resulting oscillatory motion is simple harmonic motion. (a) What is the angular frequency of the motion? (b) Using the position of the bob at its lowest point...
A uniform thin rod of length L = 40.0 cm and mass M = 800 g is pinned so that it can swing about a point that is one-third of the way from one end of the rod. You pull the rod away from equilibrium by a small angle and release it, so that the rod swings back and forth. (a) What is the period of the rod’s motion as it swings back and forth? (b) What is the length...

The figure below shows the pendulum endpoints as well as its equilibrium position as it swings back and forth. Below that, acceleration and velocity vectors during the motion are shown for five points of the motion; the endpoints, the equilibrium position and somewhere between the equilibrium position and each endpoint.

A) Write the Lagrangian for a simple pendulum consisting of a point mass m suspended at the end of a massless string of length l. Derive the equation of motion from the Euler-Lagrange equation, and solve for the motion in the small angle approximation. B) Assume the massless string can stretch with a restoring force F = -k (r-r0), where r0 is the unstretched length. Write the new Lagrangian and find the equations of motion. C) Can you re-write the...
Conservation of Energy A simple pendulum consists of an object suspended by a string. The object is assumed to be a particle. The string, with its top end fixed, has negligible mass and does not stretch. In the absence of air friction, the system oscillates by swinging back and forth in a vertical plane. If the string is 1.50 m long and makes an initial angle of 34.5° with the vertical, calculate the speed of the particle at the following...
