Answer:
a The kinetic energy is
b The height of the center of mass above that position is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the rod is
The mass of the rod
The angular speed at the lowest point is
Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is
Substituting values
Generally the kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as
From the law of conservation of energy
The kinetic energy of the rod during motion = The potential energy of the rod at the highest point
Therefore
g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801
as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42 in an experiment performed.
the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.
hence the error is -
=3.88735 percent
the error is not so high,so it can be accepted.
now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as-
As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.
if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801
