A pendulum consisting of a string of length L attached to a bob of mass m swings
Question:
A pendulum consisting of a string of length L attached to a bob of mass m swings in a vertical plane. When the string is at an angle θ to the vertical,
(a) What is the tangential component of acceleration of the bob?
(b) What is the torque exerted about the pivot point?
(c) Show that τ = Iα with at = Lα gives the same tangential acceleration as found in part (a).
Step by Step Answer:
a The pendulum and the forces acting on it are shown The tan...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
