Find the period of oscillation for this pendulum. ________________ Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: m_1 m_2 m_2 L/2 L/2 m_1

A vertical hollow tube is connected to a speaker, which vibrates vertically with simple harmonic motion (Figure 13–32). The speaker operates with constant amplitude, A, but variable frequency, ????. A slender pencil is placed inside the tube. (a) At low frequencies the pencil stays in contact with the speaker at all times; at higher frequencies the pencil begins to rattle. Explain the reason for this behavior. (b) Find an expression for the frequency at which rattling begins.
