    Solving Conical Pendulum Problem: Results & Tips

    i was solving thsi problem and attempted it in this manner consider a length dx of the rod at a distance x from the pivot now let \theta be the required angle dx\cos\theta = dm g dx\sin\theta = m\omega^{2}x\sin\theta dividing we get \tan\theta = \frac {\omega^{2}x\sin\theta}{g} which is...

    Calculating Inclination & Time of Revolution for a Conical Pendulum

    1. The string of a conical pendulum is 1m long. An initial speed of 3m/s causes the bob to describe a horizontal circle. Find the inclination of the string to the vertical and the time of revolution. The answers at the back give 50.1 and 1.6s I'm trying to find the angle that the string makes...

    Why did my force analysis for a conical pendulum problem yield the wrong answer?

    I tried to do this pendulum problem with force analysis, but I kept getting a wrong answer. Eventually I figured it out using torque, but I still have no clue why I was getting a wrong answer when I try to use f=ma. Any help appreciated! Homework Statement A conical pendulum, a thin uniform...

    Conical Pendulum Problem -Right Way of Solving?

    Hello, I wanted to make sure that I am solving this problem in the correct manner, because one of my answers seems a little off from the book's. "Consider a conical pendulum with an 80.0-kg bob on a 10.0-m wire making an angle of 5.00(degrees) with the veritcal. Determine (a) the horizontal...

    Conical Pendulum: A Level Maths Required?

    i know this isn't exactly homework, but i couldn't find anywhere else to put it! we've been doing s.h.m. in physics, and when we considered a simple pendulum my teacher mentioned that you can also have a conical pendulum, but the maths for it is more complicated. i want to know more about this...

    Conical Pendulum, Mass and Period

    Hello. I am having trouble understand the varying mass's effect on the period of a conical pendulum. Well, I understand that there is no effect. However, I am having trouble verifying that in a centripetal force equation for circular motion. Most generally, conical pendulum's centripetal...
