(a) L = 0·73 m

(b) 4·39 × $10^{-3}$ J

Explanation:

(a) From the figure, consider the torque about the point where the rod is attached because if we consider another point then there will be hinge forces acting on the rod at the point of attachment

Let L m be the length of the rod and β be the angle between the rod and the vertical

Let α be the angular acceleration of the rod

As the force of gravity acts at the centre so from the figure, the torque about the point of attachment will be 0·53 × g ×(L ÷ 2) ×sinβ

Assuming that the value of amplitude of this oscillation to be small

As torque = moment of inertia × angular acceleration

0·53 × g ×(L ÷ 2) ×sinβ = ((0·53 × L²) ÷ 3) × α (∵ moment of inertia of the rod from the point of attachment)

For small oscillations, α = ω² × β

After substituting the value of α and solving we get

ω = √((3 × g) ÷ (2 × L))

Time period = (2 × π) ÷ ω = (2 × π) ÷ √((3 × g) ÷ (2 × L))

∴ (2 × π) ÷ √((3 × g) ÷ (2 × L)) = 1·4

Substituting the value of g as 9·8 m/s² and solving we get

L = 0·73 m

(b) At the maximum amplitude condition the velocity will be 0 and potential energy will be maximum and maximum kinetic energy will be attained at the lowest point and hinge forces will not do work as the point of attachment is not moving

∴ Taking the reference for finding the potential energy as the lowest point

Maximum potential energy = Maximum kinetic energy As total energy is constant, since there is no dissipative force

Maximum potential energy = (0·53 × g × L ×(1 - cosβ)) ÷ 2 (∵ increment in height is (L × (1 - cosβ)) ÷ 2

∴ Maximum potential energy = (0·53 × g × L ×(1 - cosβ)) ÷ 2 After substituting the value we get

Maximum potential energy = 4·39 × $10^{-3}$ J

∴ Maximum kinetic energy = 4·39 × $10^{-3}$ J

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i. e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that
