The maximum friction that can be generated between two static surfaces in contact with each other. Once a force applied to the two surfaces exceeds the limiting friction, motion will occur. For two dry surfaces, the limiting friction is a product of the normal reaction force and the coefficient of limiting friction.
Answer:
a) 0,1613 Hz
b) 1,01342 rad/sec
c) 9.5422 m
d) 
Explanation:
In the Albert Michelson exhibit at Clark University, we know the period of oscillation of the chandelier is T = 6.2 seconds
The chandelier will be modeled as a simple pendulum
a) Since the frequency is the reciprocal of the period, we have

b) The angular frequency is computed as

c) The period of a simple pendulum is given by

Where L is its length and g is the local acceleration of gravity (assumed 9.8
for this part)
We want to know the length of the pendulum, so we isolate L


d) While hanging out in J.J. Thompson’s House O’ Blues, the new period is 6.2+0.11=6.32 sec. Since the chandelier is the very same (same length), we can assume the gravity is slightly different. We use again the formula for T, but now we'll isolate g as follows

Which results

Answer:
71 cm
Explanation:
The formula to apply here is θ = 1.22λ/D,
diameter of central maximum =1.0 cm
wavelength, λ= 633 nm
Diameter of pinhole = 0.11 mm
where θ = arc length/distance = s/R
s/R = 1.22λ/D
(.005)/R = (1.22)(633 X 10^-9)/(1.1 X 10^-4)
R = .71 m which is 71 cm
