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

Substituting the equations above to the equation for frequency:

valina [46]
The acceleration produced in a body is always in the direction of the resultant force acting on the body. Therefore, we may determine the horizontal acceleration using the horizontal force applied. To do this, we may apply the mathematical form of Newton's second law:

Force = mass * acceleration
acceleration = force / mass

Substituting the values,
a = 100 / 0.15
a = 666.7 m/s²

The acceleration of the hockey puck is 670 m/s²
