Pendulums - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Oscillation refers to the repetitive back-and-forth movement around an equilibrium position. It’s commonly seen in physical systems like pendulums and springs. In simple harmonic motion (SHM), the restoring force is proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction, resulting in sinusoidal motion. The key parameters include amplitude (maximum displacement), frequency (number of cycles per second), and period (time for one complete cycle). The formula for the angular frequency...

Review of lesson 5.4 for MA 262 (Linear Algebra & Differential Equations) at Purdue University. Content based on class textbook Differential Equations & Linear Algebra by C. Henry Edwards and David E. Penney (ISBN: 9780536264923). 5.4 covers the application of differential equations (DEs) to describe mechanical vibrations, including mass-spring-dashpot systems, masses on springs, simple pendulums, free damped motion, free undamped motion, and overdamped and underdamped cases. Derivation of ap...

Abstract In this lab report, physical, torsional and simple spring pendulums and their properties were examined. Three experimental setups were used: a mass hanging on a spring, a rod with attached masses oscillating vertically and a rod with masses, then a disk oscillating horizontally. Although experimental and theoretical values were close, experimental ones were more precise and accurate, as its errors had small values. The obtained results demonstrated that the spring constant k=19.84...
