Question
In 71 and 72, the distance d (in meters) of the bob of a pendulum of mass m (in kilograms) from its rest position at time t (in seconds) is given. (a) Describe the motion of the object. (b) What is the initial displacement of the bob? That is, what is the displacement at (c) Graph the motion using a graphing utility. (d) What is the displacement of the bob at the start of the second oscillation? (e) What happens to the displacement of the bob as time increases without bound?
Solution
The first step in solving 8 problem number 71 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In 71 and 72, the distance d (in meters) of the bob of a pendulum of mass m (in kilograms) from its rest position at time t (in seconds) is given. (a) Describe the motion of the object. (b) What is the initial displacement of the bob? That is, what is the displacement at (c) Graph the motion using a graphing utility. (d) What is the displacement of the bob at the start of the second oscillation? (e) What happens to the displacement of the bob as time increases without bound?
From the textbook chapter Applications of Trigonometric Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
