A pendulum hangs in a conical grooved bore. A spring tends to move the pendulum and the poppet valve upwards when the circulation stops. If the tool... 

Consider a physical pendulum, as represented in Fig. 1. A mass m is attached by a spring to a rigid support. The spring is characterized by a force... 

To make a suspension-spring system with a natural frequency of 1 Hz, the weight of the mass should stretched the spring by 25 cm. Notice that Eq. (10.23) is exactly the formula for the natural frequency of a simple pendulum with length AL. To isolate the horizontal vibration, a pendulum is the... 

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. 

Often Newton s laws predict periodic motion in simple systems. For example, a ball supported from the ceiling by a spring, or a pendulum which is not too far from vertical, will oscillate at a constant and predictable rate. If we connect two balls of comparable mass by a spring and stretch the spring, the entire system will oscillate back and forth, or vibrate.

Variable Sample Quantity Test Using Spring Pendulum... 

To investigate detonation propagation of the propellant charged in spring pendulum. 

As the propellants used here had very strong power when they were decomposed by explosion, we were unable to perform the variable sample quantity tests. Therefore, variable sample quantity tests were carried out using the spring pendulum.

The spring pendulum used in the test was the one installed by Taketoyo Works of Nippon Oils and Fats Corp. It used a real mortar and its appearance and features are shown in Fig. 3.139. 

In the variable detonator test using a ballistic mortar, all of the sample propellants (A to H) resulted in full explosions. The explosives were found at the farthest a distance of 20mm from the detonator, indicating that the sample exploded at least from a distance of 20mm. In the spring pendulum test, no induced explosion occurred in any of the samples, and the explosion distance was 26-39mm. The booster used was 20g of PETN powder and the diameter of the samples was 20mm. 

With a spring pendulum mortar, the pulverized material is discharged outside the mortar before the explosion is completed. In underwater tests, complete pulverization is not likely due to the pressure of the water.

When we take two equal pendulums, then these oscillate independently of one another and in the same way as a separate pendulum, as with weak coupling in the form of a weak spring between the two extremities of the pendulums, the motions that this complex can carry out are more complicated. On analysing them, two kinds of motion can be recognised in the one, the quicker, the pendulums move oppositely, the restoring force is increased and the frequency raised vA > vx = vn and the other, the slower motion, with the same phase of the pendulums has a frequency < vx = vn 3.
