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:

Volume of an block is 5 cm3. If the density of the block is 250 g/cm3, what is the mass of the block ?​
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The mass of the block is 1250g.

Explanation:

Given that the formula for density is ρ = mass/volume. Then you have to substitute the values into the formula :

ρ =  \frac{mass}{volume}

Let density = 250,

Let volume = 5,

250 =  \frac{m}{5}

m = 250 \times 5

m = 1250g

If it takes 100 N to get a 10 kg object to accelerate at 10m/s/s, how much force will it take to get a 20 kg object to accelerat
yan [13]

Answer: C) 200 N

Explanation:

The force F is defined as:

F=m.a

Where:

m=20 kg is the mass of the object

a=10 m/s^{2} is the acceleration

Then:

F=(20 kg)(10 m/s^{2})

Finally:

F=200 N

Hence, the correct option is C.

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Gravitational Force is reduced 4 times

Explanation:

The equation of Gravitational force follows:

F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2

Assume that G*m1*m2 = 1 and r = 1:

F = 1/1^2 = 1 N

Multiply the radius by 2

F = 1/2^2 = 1/4 N

So doubling the distance reduces the force 4 times.

B) What are the only two sources of energy that produce all the energy we use on Earth? What form
Zina [86]

Answer:

Solar and nuclear power generate more than 99 percent of our civilization's energy. Every other important source of energy is a combination of these two. The majority of them are solar in nature. We discharge previously collected solar energy when we burn wood.

and

Nuclear energy, fossil energy (oil, coal, and natural gas), and renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower) are all examples of primary energy sources.
