A grandfather clock contains a pendulum that swings back and
forth due to gravity. Model the pendulum as a one-dimensional rod
that is connected to a solid disk. The length of the rod is
L, and the radius of the solid disk is R. The
mass of each object is
.
Known:
,
L, R, g
What is the angular acceleration of the
swinging pendulum when it is at an angle
relative to the vertical, as shown? Let counterclockwise be the
positive direction. Write the answer only in terms of the known
quantities and fully simplify the answers.

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass
disk of radius 37 cm and mass 1.6 kg that is attached to a long,
thin rod of negligible mass. The pendulum swings freely about an
axis perpendicular to the rod and through the end of the rod
opposite the disk. The pendulum should be designed so that its
period is 2 s for small oscillations when the gravitational
acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius r = 14.38 cm and mass 0.8261 kg that is attached to a long thin rod of negligible mass. The pendulum swings freely about an axis perpendicular to the rod and through the end of the rod opposite the disk, as shown in the figure. If the pendulum is to have a period of 1.592 s for small oscillations at a place where g =...

You are visiting your grandparents in Boston. There is an antique grandfather clock keeping time in one of the rooms. Your grandmother enters the room and tells you that she had it calibrated professionally in Denver and it kept perfect time for years. After they moved it here to their Massachusetts house, it has not been accurate. It runs too fast and has to be reset to the correct time every few days. You find some papers associated with the...

3) A pendulum consists of a solid spherical mass of mass 3m and radius R whose center is attached to the end of a uniform rod of mass m and length 4R which is pivoted about an axis at its end. a) The pendulum is constructed with a sphere of mass 1.5 kg and radius 15 cm, rod of mass .50 kg and length 60 cm. The mass swings in simple harmonic motion of maximum amplitude of /6 radians. Find...
