A point mass m under no external forces is attached to a weightless cord fixed to a cylinder of radius R (which is also fixed). Initially, the cord is completely wound up so that the mass touches the cylinder. A radially directed impulse is now given to the mass, which starts unwinding.
(a) Find the Lagrangian in terms of the coordinate ϕ.
Since lagrangian = T-V
And it is given that no force is acting this implies that potential energy V =0 and hence the lagrangian contains only T term.

A small block with mass m is attached to a cord passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface. The block is initially revolving at a distance r from the hole with a speed vr. as shown. (a) By what force F, applied by the hand is the block held rotating? The cord is then pulled additionally from below, shortening the radius of the circle in which the block revolves to At this new distance, (b) what will the...
2. A block of mass "m" is attached to a cord of length "L", which is fixed at one end. The mass moves in a horizontal circle on a frictionless table. A second block of mass "3m" is attached to the first by a cord of the same length "L" and also moves in a circle, as shown. The period of the motion is "t". a. Write out the forces in the radial direction on each block. Given [m, L,...
A small block on a frictionless horizontal surface has a mass of 0.0280 kg . It is attached to a massless cord passing through a hole in the surface. (See the figure below (Figure 1) .) The block is originally revolving at a distance of 0.310 m from the hole with an angular speed of 1.80 rad/s . The cord is then pulled from below, shortening the radius of the circle in which the block revolves to 0.115 m ....
The axis of a smooth fixed ciular cylinder of radius R is horizontal. A particle of mass m is attached to a model string and is initially at rest level with the cre of the cylinder with the string draped over the top, whee t slids without frictian as if on a model pulley, s shown in the diagram below. A constant force P of magnitude P pulls the model string downwards. Let 0 denote the angle subtended at the...
A mass mi falls under its own weight while connected by a string to a frictionless pulley of mass m2 and radius R, whose center is fixed. Use two generalized coordinated, y (the length of the hanging string) and 6 (the angle through (a) Assuming that the string does not slip relative to the pulley, find the constraint governing 1. y and θ, and express this in the form of a constraint equation gy.9,-0. (You can assume (b) Write the...
Consider a bicycle wheel that initially is not rotating. A block of mass m is attached to the wheel via a string and is allowed to fall a distance h. Assume that the wheel has a moment of inertia I about its rotation axis Now consider the case that the string tied to the block is wrapped around a smaller inside axle of the wheel of radius rB as shown in (Figure 2) . Find ωB, the angular speed of...
A mass of m kilograams (kg) is mounted on top of a vertical spring. The spring is L metres long when disengaged and the end not attached to the mass is fixced to the ground. The mass moves vertically up and down, acted on by gravity, the restoring force T of the spring and the damping force R due to friction: see the diagram below The gravitational force is mg dowswards, where g- 9.8m is acceleration due to gravity, measured...
In a hurry to digest this . Tks for the help (thumb up) 2. A mass of m kilograms (kg) is mounted on top of a vertical spring. The spring is L metres long when disengaged and the end not attached to the mass is fixed to the ground. The mass moves vertically up and down, acted on by gravity, the restoring force T of the spring and the damping force R due to friction: see the diagram below The...
All questions added because it is needed for Question 6 to 11 to be answered (I believe). Answer Question 6 to 11. Please. Thank you Practical 3: Rotation due to an External Moment - Pre-Lab Preparation Rotation due to an External Moment: Pre-lab Preparation In this practical exercise you will investigate the angular acceleration of a disc about its centre of mass due to an applied moment, and determine the moment of inertia of the disc. Write down the equation...
Hand In Problem 2 A solid globe of mass M and radius R can rotate about its axis. A block of mass m is attached by a massless-string/pulley system as shown. As the block falls it causes the globe to spin. If the block starts at rest, at what speed does the block hit the ground after it falls a distance h? ' State your answer in terms of the given variables: M, R, m, h and g. Solve this...
