Consider a mass m which is attached to the origin by a rope of length R, and is free to swing under the influence of gravity. In other words, it is constrained to be on the inside surface of a frictionless sphere of radius R. Find the equations of motion, denoting θ as the angle that the rope makes with the vertical (θ = 0 is straight down) and φ as the normal angle in the xy plane.

An object with mass m is dragged along a horizontal plane by a force acting along a rope attached to the object as shown below mass horizontal plane If the rope makes an angle θ with the plane, then the magnitude of the force required to overcome friction is where g is the acceleration due to gravity and μ is a positive constant called the coefficient of riction, and we assume θ [0, π/2) Use the second derivative t tan...
A mass m attached to the end of a massless rod of length L is free to swing below the plane of support, as shown in the figure above.

1) Consider a pendulum of constant length L to which a bob of mass m is attached. The Q6. pendulum moves only in a two-dimensional plane (see figure below). The polar frame of reference attached to the bob is defined by er,ce where er is the unit vector orientecd away from the origin and e completes the direct orthonormal basis. The pendulum makes an angle 0(t) between the radial direction and the vertical direction e(t) The position vector beinge ind...
Aball of mass m is attached to a massless swing of length L. The swing is released from an angle θ from the vertical and, when it is in the vertical Ball on a Swing h above the floor. The ball then undergoes a projectile motion, Find an expression for the range R of the ball. Your expression should be in terms of the given position, it hits a stop which detaches Find an expression for the speed the ball...
Spiderman, whose mass is 78.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 11.6-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb above. By repeatedly bending at the waist, he is able to get the rope in motion, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a θ = 61.2° angle with the vertical. How much work was done by the gravitational force on Spiderman in this...
Batman, whose mass is 80 kg, is holding onto the free end of a 12-m rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb above. He is able to get the rope in motion as only Batman knows how, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a 60° angle with the downward vertical. How much work was done against the force of gravity in this maneuver? Pleas explain...
Frictionless plane M 1.) Consider the coupled system shown at the right. The mass M is free to slide on a frictionless surface and is connected to the wall with a spring of spring constant k. Mass M2 is 2000 attached to My with taut rope of length (it acts as a pendulum). The vertical line shows the equilibrium position when the spring is un- stretched (r = 0). The coordinates 21 and 12 denote the positions of the two...
In the apparatus shown above, one end of a string of length L is
attached to a block of mass M and the other end is connected to the
axle of a motor that rotates, causing the block to move in a circle
of radius R at a constant speed vT such that the string makes an
angle θ with the vertical. A student wants to use the apparatus to
make measurements and create a graph that can be used...
(a) Consider a particle which starts moving around from the origin in a 3-dimensional space. De- termine the velocity vector v(t) in terms of φ and θ if it is constantly moving at the speed 5m/s, along the direction (φ,0). Here, φ denotes the angle between the z-axis and the projection of the position vector r(t) on the xy-plane; meanwhile θ denotes the angle between the z-axis and r(t). You may assume that (φ, θ) are fixed over time at...
