Chapter 14 Problem 54E

Question

A 1.80-kg monkey wrench is pivoted 0.250 m from its center of mass and allowed to swing as a physical pendulum. The period for small-angle oscillations is 0.940 s. (a) What is the moment of inertia of the wrench about an axis through the pivot? (b) If the wrench is initially displaced 0.400 rad from its equilibrium position, what is the angular speed of the wrench as it passes through the equilibrium position?

Solution

Solution 54E Problem (a) Step 1: Mass of the wrench m = 1.80 kg Distance from center of gravity d = 0.25 m Time period of oscillation T = 0.94 s
