Question

Plot the corresponding reference circle for each of the following simple harmonic motions. Indicate the initial (t = 0) position of the particle, the radius of the circle, and the angular speed of the rotating particle. For simplicity, the sense of rotation may be fixed to be anticlockwise in every case: (x is in cm and t is in s).

$\text{x}=2\cos\pi\text{t}$

✓

Answer

$\text{x}=2\cos\pi\text{t}$

If this equation is compared with the standard SHM equation $\text{x}=\text{A}\cos\bigg(\Big(\frac{2\pi}{\text{T}}\Big)\text{t}+\phi\bigg),$ then we get:

Amplitude, A = 2cm

Phase angle, $\phi=0$

Angular velocity, $\omega=\pi\text{ rad/s}$

The motion of the particle can be plotted as shown in the following figure.

A sphere of mass 20kg is suspended by a metal wire of unstretched length 4m and diameter 1mm. When in equilibrium, there is a clear gap of 2mm between the sphere and the floor. The sphere is gently pushed aside so that the wire makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical and is released. Find the maximum value of $\theta$ so that the sphere does not rub the floor. Young's modulus of the metal of the wire is 2.0 × 10¹¹N/m². Make appropriate approximations.
