Question

Consider a physical pendulum with length of 99.5 cm and mass of 185 g. If the pendulum was released from an angle less than 10°, then calculate the angular speed of the pendulum. (g = 9.80 m/s^2)

Answer 1

The angular speed of the pendulum is 3.138 rad/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length = 99.5 cm

Mass = 185 g

We need to calculate the angular speed

Using formula of angular speed

`\omega=\sqrt{(g)/(l)}`

Where, l = length

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

`\omega=\sqrt{(9.80)/(99.5*10^(-2))}`

`\omega=3.138\ rad/s`

Hence, The angular speed of the pendulum is 3.138 rad/s.
