Two identical, thin rods, each with mass m and length L, are joined at right angles to form an L-shaped object. This object is b

alanced on top of a sharp edge. If the L-shaped object is deflected slightly, it oscillates.

The frequency of oscillation of the given L-shaped object made of two rods is \boxed{\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt{\frac{{3g}}{{4\sqrt2L}}}} .

Further Explanation:

The combination of the two rods perpendicular to each other and making a L-shaped object is as shown in figure attached below.

This L-shaped object rests on a sharp edge and therefore, each rod will make an angle of 45^\circ  with the sharp edge. When there is a very small deflection in the rod, it will start performing oscillations with a small angle \theta . Then the time period of oscillation of this rod about its center of gravity is given as:

T=2\pi \sqrt {\frac{I}{{mgd}}}                                       …… (1)

Here, I  is the moment of inertia of the rod, d  is the distance of the center of gravity from the fixed point and T  is the time period of oscillation of the L-shaped object.

The moment of inertia of the rod about its one end is given as:

I=\frac{1}{3}M{L^2}

For the above mentioned case, the moment of inertia of the two rods about the fixed sharp point is:

\begin{aligned}I&=\frac{1}{3}m{L^2}+\frac{1}{3}m{L^2}\\&=\frac{2}{3}m{L^2}\\\end{aligned}

The distance of the center of gravity from the fixed point is:

d=\frac{L}{{2\sqrt 2 }}

Substitute the values in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}T&=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{{\frac{2}{3}m{L^2}}}{{mg\left({\frac{L}{{2\sqrt 2 }}}\right)}}}\\&=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{{4\sqrt 2 L}}{{3g}}}\\\end{aligned}

The frequency of oscillation of the L-shaped object is:

\begin{aligned}f&=\frac{1}{T}\\&=\frac{1}{{2\pi}}\sqrt{\frac{{3g}}{{4\sqrt 2 L}}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the frequency of oscillation of the given L-shaped object made of two rods is

\boxed{\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt{\frac{{3g}}{{4\sqrt 2 L}}}} .

Moment of inertia for one rod is expressed as:
<span>
I(1)= I(end) + md^2 = (1\12)mL^2+m(L/2√2)^2=(5/24)mL^2
</span><span>
Therefore, for two rods:
</span><span>
I2 = 2I1 = (5/12)mL^2  

</span><span>
For the moment of inertia at the pivot point,
</span><span>
I=I2+2md^2=(5/12)mL^2+2(m(L/2√2)^2)=(2/3)mL^2 
</span><span>
Substituting the equations above to the equation for frequency:

f=(1/2π)√(2mgd/I)=(1/4π)√(6g/√2L)</span>

Compare the force of air resistance and the force of gravity on an object falling at its terminal velocity.
Sholpan [36]
The viscous force on an object moving through air is proportional to its velocity.
The only forces acting on an object when falling are air resistance and its weight itself. The weight acts vertically downwards whereas air resistance acts vertically upward.
Let F be the viscous force due to air molecules, B be buoyant force due to air and W be the weight of falling object. Initially, the velocity of falling object and hence the viscous force F is zero and the object is accelerated due to force
(W-B). Because of the acceleration the velocity increases and accordingly the viscous force also increases. At a certain instant, the viscous force becomes equal to W-B. The net force then becomes zero and the object falls with constant velocity. This constant velocity is called terminal velocity.
Thus at terminal velocity, air resistance and force of gravity becomes equal.

A force did 80 j of work on an object in 4 m how big was the force
yanalaym [24]

Work = (force) x (distance)

80 J = (force) x (4 m)

Force = (80 J) / (4 m)  =  20 N

That's IF the force was in the same direction as the 4m of motion.
If the force was kind of slanted, then it had to be stronger, and
it had a component of 20N in the direction of the motion.

When is the pressure of the man on the ground more – lying position or standing
Wittaler [7]

Hi,

<u>The man on the ground in standing position has more pressure</u>. This is because when he stands, only his legs are in contact with the ground. While lying, his body is more in contact with the ground, therefore, he exerts less pressure.

To the point, a man standing position on the ground had more pressure.

More is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforted.

Thank you...

Now put the names of the planets in increasing order based on their distance from the sun
Anika [276]
The eight planets of the Solar System arranged in order from the sun:

Mercury: 46 million km / 29 million miles (.307 AU)
Venus: 107 million km / 66 million miles (.718 AU)
Earth: 147 million km / 91 million miles (.98 AU)
Mars: 205 million km / 127 million miles (1.38 AU)
Jupiter: 741 million km /460 million miles (4.95 AU)
Saturn: 1.35 billion km / 839 million miles (9.05 AU)
Uranus: 2.75 billion km / 1.71 billion miles (18.4 AU)
Neptune: 4.45 billion km / 2.77 billion miles (29.8 AU)

Astronomers often use a term called astronomical unit (AU) to represent the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

+ Pluto (Dwarf Planet): 4.44 billion km / 2.76 billion miles (29.7 AU)
