Explanation:
When the central shaft rotates , the seat along with passenger also rotates . Their rotation requires a centripetal force of mw²R where m is mass of the passenger and w is the angular velocity and R is radius of the circle in which the passenger rotates.
This force is provided by a component of T , the tension in the rope from which the passenger hangs . If θ be the angle the rope makes with horizontal ,
T cos θ will provide the centripetal force . So
Tcosθ = mw²R
Tsinθ component will balance the weight .
Tsinθ = mg
Dividing the two equation
Tanθ =
Hence for a given w , θ depends upon g or weight .
Answer:
Explanation:
A simple pendulum is a system consisting of a mass attached to a string, and oscillating in a periodic motion, back and forth, along an equilibrium position.
The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one oscillation.
The period of a pendulum is given by the equation
where
L is the length of the pendulum
g is the acceleration due to gravity
From the formula, we see that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass.
Therefore, the only 2 factors affecting the period of a pendulum are:
- The length of the pendulum: the longer it is, the longer the period of oscillation
- The acceleration due to gravity: the greater it is, the shorter the period of the pendulum
