A large, simple pendulum is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building. If the pendulum is 18.5 m in length, what is

the least amount of time it takes for the bob to swing from a position of maximum displacement to the equilibrium position of the pendulum? (Assume that the acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2 at the UN building.)

Answer:

     t = 1,144 s

Explanation:

The simple pendulum consists of an inextensible string with a mass at the tip, the angular velocity of this is

     w = √( L / g)

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

     w = 2π f

      f = 1 / T

     w = 2π / T

Let's replace

     2π / T = √ (L / g)

     T = 2π √ (g / L)

Let's calculate

     T = 2π √ (9.81 / 18.5)

     T = 4,576 s

The definition of period in the time it takes the ball to come and go to a given point (a revolution) in our case we go from the end to the middle point that is a quarter of the path

     t = T / 4

     t = 4,576 / 4

     t = 1,144 s

Which of the following is one way that an electric motor's rotation speed can be controlled?
malfutka [58]
Depending on which type of motor you're talking about, but the first 3 are true.  A stronger magnetic field in a DC motor will slow it down but increase its torque.
The amount of current in the motor will control the magnetic fields and therefore affect the speed (and torque).  In an induction motor, the rotational speed is given by n= \frac{120f}{p}  where f is the line frequency and p is the number of poles.  Thus fewer poles makes it go faster.
