Question
Two pendulums with identical bobs and lengths are suspended from a common support such that in rest position the two bobs are in contact. One of the bobs is released after being displaced by 10° so that it collides elastically head-on with the other bob.

  1. Describe the motion of two bobs.
  2. Draw a graph showing variation in energy of either pendulum with time, for  where T is the period of each pendulum.

Answer

  1. Let at t = 0 A is at lowest position and B is at its height position at 10°

PEA = 0, PEB = E, KEA = KEB = 0

K.E. of both are zero. Now bob is released.

 reaches to A and collide elastically as both bobs are identical then,

KEA = 0, KEB = E, PEA = 0

PEB = 0

AT  reaches at it’s maximum height and B remains at it’s lowest position.

KEA = 0, KEB = E, PEA = E, PEB = 0

At  Bob A hits the bob B which was at rest elastically and ball A becomes at rest, B moves upward.

KEA = 0, KEB = E, PEA = E, PEB = 0

EA = 0, EB = E

At  Bob B is at its maximum height and A is at lower height.

So, KEA = 0, KEB = 0, PEA = 0, PEB = E

  1. The entire process is repeated.
Time t KEA PEA EA KEB PEB EB
0 0 0 0 0 E E
0 0 E 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 E E
E 0 E 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 E E

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a 0.20kg block of the metal at 150°C is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent 0.025kg) containing 150cm3 of water at 27°C. The final temperature is 40°C. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible, is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for specific heat of the metal?
