Question

A pendulum is suspended from the cusp of a cycloid cut in rigid support. The path described by the pendulum bob is cycloidal and is given by: x = a (φ − sin φ) y = a(cos φ − 1), where the length of the pendulum is l = 4a, and where φ is the angle of rotation of the circle generating the cycloid. Shat that the oscillations are exactly isosynchronous with frequency ω0 = p g/l, independent of the amplitude.

Answer 1

Answer:

Verified that he oscillations are exactly isosynchronous with frequency ω0 = p g/l, independent of the amplitude.

Explanation:

Starting from the first principle for the derivation and to prove that the oscillations are exactly isosynchronous with frequency ω0 = p g/l, independent of the amplitude. The mathematical manipulations was applied, trigonometric identities was also applied.The steps and explanation are shown in the attachment.
