Answer:
a) 
b) x = 4.47 cm
c) 
d) x = 1.48 cm
Explanation:
a) The center of mass is equal to:

Where m is the mass of beads and x is the distances, if x₁ = d₁, x₂ = d₂ and x₃ = d₃

b) If
m₁ = 23g
m₂ = 15 g
m₃ = 58 g
d₁ = 1.1 cm
d₂ = 1.9 cm
d₃ = 3.2 cm

c) The center of the mass of the beads realtive to the center of bead is:

d) 
Answer:
a) K = 0.63 J, b) h = 0.153 m
Explanation:
a) In this exercise we have a physical pendulum since the rod is a material object, the angular velocity is
w² =
where d is the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass and I is the moment of inertia.
The rod is a homogeneous body so its center of mass is at the geometric center of the rod.
d = L / 2
the moment of inertia of the rod is the moment of a rod supported at one end
I = ⅓ m L²
we substitute
w =
w =
w =
w = 4.427 rad / s
an oscillatory system is described by the expression
θ = θ₀ cos (wt + Φ)
the angular velocity is
w = dθ /dt
w = - θ₀ w sin (wt + Ф)
In this exercise, the kinetic energy is requested in the lowest position, in this position the energy is maximum. For this expression to be maximum, the sine function must be equal to ±1
In the exercise it is indicated that at the lowest point the angular velocity is
w = 4.0 rad / s
the kinetic energy is
K = ½ I w²
K = ½ (⅓ m L²) w²
K = 1/6 m L² w²
K = 1/6 0.42 0.75² 4.0²
K = 0.63 J
b) for this part let's use conservation of energy
starting point. Lowest point
Em₀ = K = ½ I w²
final point. Highest point
Em_f = U = m g h
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ I w² = m g h
½ (⅓ m L²) w² = m g h
h = 1/6 L² w² / g
h = 1/6 0.75² 4.0² / 9.8
h = 0.153 m
Because way back, when there were some kinds of plants that made
their own food, and other kinds of plants that depended on dinosaurs or
people to bring them food, guess which ones starved and became extinct,
and which ones lived and are still among us today.
This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:
Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .
During the speeding-up half: 1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half: 1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
Pick either half, and divide each side by 0.65 m/s²:
T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)
T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds
Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.
T = 2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em> (rounded)
