A uniform meter stick of mass M is pivoted on a hinge at one end and held horizontal by a spring with spring constant k attached at the other end. If the stick oscillates up and down slightly, what is its frequency? [Hint: Write a torque equation about the hinge.]
if the stick is displaced x at the spring end
restoring force = - kx
without spring attached to the stick, equivalent mass m at the end
of stick
mg * L = Mg * L/2
m = M/2
net force at the end of stick
= m d^2 x / dt^2 = - kx
d^2 x / dt^2 = - kx /m
= - (k/m) x
= - (2k/M) x
angular speed
= sq root [ 2k/M]
= 2 pi *frq
frequency = [1 / 2pi] sq root [2k/M]

A uniform meter stick of mass 1.5kg is attached to the wall by a frictionless hinge at one end. On the opposite end it is supported by a vertical massless string such that the stick makes an angle of 40 degrees with the horizontal. Find the tension in the string and the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the stick by the hinge.
A slender, uniform metal rod of mass M and length l is pivoted without friction about an axis through its midpoint and perpendicular to the rod. A horizontal spring, assumed massless and with force constant k, is attached to the lower end of the rod, with the other end of the spring attached to a rigid support. (Figure 1) 2. Find the torque τ due to the spring. Assume that θ is small enough that the spring remains effectively horizontal...
8, A uniform meter stick is freely pivoted about the 0.25-m mark. If it is allowed to swing in a vertical plane with a small amplitude and friction, what is the frequency of its oscillations? Voallel TeLamt M arw's Treorem
please show your work? Thanks Lecture Notes-pe A uniform meter stick may rotate about a horizontal anis of rotation through its 30 centimeter mark. Two point masses, each with the same mass as the meter stick, are attached to the meter stick at the 10 and 70 cm marks. The meter stick is displaced slightly from its vertical equlibrium position and oscillates through a small angle. Treat the meter stick like a uniform rod and find the period of this...
Consider a stick of length I, mass m, and uniform mass density. The stick is pivoted at its top end and swings around the vertical axis. Assume that conditions have been set up so that the stick always makes an angle with the vertical. a) Figure out what the principal axes are. You do not necessarily need to diagonalize the I 3. matrix. It will be obvious to find them. Calculate the diagonal components of the moment of inertia tensor....
A think stick 1.5m long is pivoted about one end. The stick is held in a horizontal position and released from rest. Neglecting friction, use conservation of energy to determine the stick's angular velocity when it is vertical. (Hint: When determining the change in gravitational potential energy of the stick, you must consider the change in position of the stick's centre of mass)
A uniform meter stick of mass $M$ has a half-filled can of fruit juice of mass $m$ attached to one end. The meter stick and the can balance at a point 19.6 cm from the end of the stick where the can is attached. When the balanced stick-can system is suspended from a scale, the reading on the scale is 2.59 N. A.)Calculate the mass of the meter stick. B.)Calculate the mass of the can of juice.
A uniform metal meter-stick is balanced with a 1.0 kg rock attached to the left end of the stick. If the support is located 0.25 m from the left end, what is the mass of the meter-stick? (Hint: meter-stick is 1 m long). 0.6 kg 2.0 kg 1.0 kg 3.0 kg
