A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building.

The pendulum has a length of 75 ft. It is used to show the rotation of the Earth—for this reason it is referred to as a Foucault pendulum.Part A) If the pendulum were to be taken to the Moon, where the acceleration of gravity is g/6, would the period increase, decrease, or stay the same?
Part B) Check your result in part A by calculating the period of the pendulum on the Moon.

Answer:

9.59143 s

23.4941 s

Explanation:

L = Length of pendulum = 75 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

On Earth

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{75\times 0.3048}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow T=9.59143\ s

The time period on Earth is 9.59143 s

On Moon

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{75\times 0.3048}{\dfrac{9.81}{6}}}\\\Rightarrow T=23.4941\ s

The time period on Moon is 23.4941 s

(C)

Explanation:

The circle has a radius r = 0.5 m, which means that its circumference C is

C = 2\pi r = 2\pi(0.5\:\text{m}) = 3.14\:\text{m}

One revolution means that the stopper travels a distance equal to the circumference of the circle so the velocity of the stopper is

v = \dfrac{C}{t} =\dfrac{3.14\:\text{m}}{0.2\:\text{s}} = 15.7\:\text{m/s} \approx 16\:\text{m/s}

This question is incomplete, the missing image uploaded along this answer below;

Answer:

a) frequency is 2.381 Hz

b) the angular frequency/speed is 14.96 rad/s

c) the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.5199 T

Explanation:

Given that;

cross sectional Area A = 0.018 m²

Number of turns N = 200

from the diagram. maximum time T = 0.42 sec

a) the frequency f of the generator in hertz

frequency = 1 / T

we substitute

frequency = 1 / 0.42 = 2.381 Hz

Therefore, frequency is 2.381 Hz

b)  the angular frequency in rad/s

angular speed ω = 2πf

we substitute

ω = 2π × 2.381

ω = 14.96 rad/s

Therefore, the angular frequency/speed is 14.96 rad/s

c) the magnitude of the magnetic field.

to determine the magnitude of the magnetic field, we use the following expression;

e = NBAω

from the diagram, e = 28.0 V

so we substitute

28.0 V = 200 × B × 0.018 × 14.96

28 = 53.856B

B = 28 / 53.856

B = 0.5199 T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.5199 T
