In our earlier studies of the nonlinear Pendulum problem (Example 2.6), we arrived at an integral expression, which did not appear to be tabulated. The physics of this problem is illustrated in Fig. 4.1, where R denotes the length of (weightless) string attached to a mass m, 6 denotes the subtended angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Application of Newton s law along the path 5... 

It is useful to compare the nonlinear solution of the pendulum problem to an approximate solution for small angles, sin 6 d, hence Eq. 4.27 becomes...

Consider a hamionic oscillator connected to another hamionic oscillator (Fig. 5-13). Write the sum of forces on each mass, mi and m2. This is a classic problem in mechanics, closely related to the double pendulum (one pendulum suspended from another pendulum). 

This is the inverted pendulum eontrol problem and, as a benehmark, is initially solved as a multivariable eontrol problem, using pole plaeement (Aekermann s formula) to ealeulate the feedbaek gain matrix in examplOS.m.

The consideration of the simple pendulum illustrates the basic problem behind devising a perpetual motion machine. The problem is the fact that energy exists in several forms and is transformed from one form to the other, especially when motion is involved. Even if friction is eliminated, there arc still the electromagnetic radiation and gravitational inter-... 

We have studied small oscillations of the mathematical pendulum. Next, we solve the same problem for larger values of displacements, and with this purpose in mind consider both equations of the set (3.22). Multiplying them by unit vectors i and k, respectively, and adding we obtain one equation of motion...

The classical harmonic oscillator in one dimension was illustrated in Seetfon 5.2.2 by the simple pendulum. Hooke s law was employed in the fSfin / = —kx where / is the force acting on the mass and k is the force constant The force can also be expressed as the negative gradient of a scalar potential function, V(jc) = for the problem in one dimension [Eq. (4-88)]. Similarly, the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator in Cartesian coordinates can be represented by the potential function... 

There is also an openloop unstable mechanical system the inverted pendulum. This is the problem of balancing a broom on the palm of your hand. You must keep moving your hand to keep the broom balanced. If you put your brain on manual and hold your hand still, the broom will topple over. So the process is openloop unstable. 

The convenience and value of the concept of resonance in discussing the problems of chemistry are so great as to make the disadvantage of the element of arbitrariness of little significance. This element occutb in the classical resonance phenomenon also—it is arbitrary to discuss the behavior of a system of pendulums with connecting springs in terms of the motion of independent pendulums, since the motion can be described in a way that is mathematically simpler by use of the normal coordinates of the system—but the convenience and usefulness of the concept have nevertheless caused it to be widely applied. 

The problems due to anisotropy may essentially be divided into two categories. First there is the problem that often the particular solution used to calculate a modulus itself assumes isotropy, e.g. for the torsion pendulum few authors use the full expressions when considering anisotropic materials. These problems may, in general, be overcome by finding solutions for anisotropic materials. 

Creep in Structural Design A pendulum clock manufacturer wants to replace the metal pendulum arm of the clocks with a polymer rod. Is his idea a good one Use the answer to Problem 3.20. 

In case of a real pendulum the density and viscosity of air should also be introduced into the relevance list. Both contain mass in their dimensions. However, this would unnecessarily complicate the problem at this step. Therefore we will consider a physical pendulum with a point mass in a vacuum.
