Pendulum of Large Length but Small Amplitude
Consider a pendulum of length of the string / which is not neg-
ligible compared with the radius R of earth and assume that
the bob is oscillating simple harmonically very close to earth's
surface. Let us derive an expression for the angular frequency
of oscillation.
‘Atany angular position @ of the string ofthe simple pendulum,
relative to the point of suspension P, the net force acting on the
‘bob in x-direction is

The net force acting on the bob in y-direction is

Since, the bob has a small speed and @ and @ are very small,
wwe can neglect its acceleration in y-direction, That gives
Tosé—mg cos6 =0. Hence, we have T= mg.

Simple Pendulum in a Liquid
If we immerse a simple pendulum in a liquid, the bob of the
pendulum will experience buoyant force in upward direction
in addition to the other forces such as gravity and tension. To
find the hg, We need to find the net force on the bob near (or at)
the equilibrium position, Dividing F., by the small displace-

TORSIONAL PENDULUM
Figure 4.71 shows a rigid object sus-
pended by a wire attached atthe op to a
fixed support. When the object is twisted
through some angle, the twisted wire ex-
cert on the object a restoring torque that is
proportional to the angular postion. That
is, r = -i0, where k (Greck leter kappa)
is called the torsion constant of the sup-
port wire. The value of k can be obtained
by applying a known torque to twist he ig ara
wire through a measureable angle @. Ap-
Plying Newton's second law for rotational motion, we find that

OSCILLATION OF A FLOATING BODY
IN A LIQUID
AA floating body is in a stable equilibrium, When itis displaced
up and released, it accelerates down and when itis pushed down,
and released, it accelerates up. It means, a floating body experi-
ences a net (resting) force towards its stable equilibrium posi-
tion. Hence, a floating body oscillates when displaced up or
down from its mean position.
