29.16 If a pendulum has length l feet and () is the angle the pendulum has swung from the vertical
at time
t, then
~
+
~()
= 0, where g = 32
ft/sec?
is the acceleration of gravity.
(a) How long should
l be so that the pendulum swings from one side to the other in one
second?
Hint: One cycle would consist of a swing from the extreme right to the extreme
left and back to the extreme right. The frequency in this situation is therefore
! cycle
per second.
(b) With
l the length of part (a), suppose () = 0 when t = 0 (so the phase shift
ex
is zero),
and
~
= .495 (radians per second, or about 28 degrees/sec) when t =
O.
Find () in
terms of
t. What is the maximum angle () the pendulum makes with the vertical?
