does a pendulum hanging on a rope has any normal force??
A pendulum is a weight suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing freely back and forth under the influence of gravity.
A pendulum works by converting potential energy (the energy of position) into kinetic energy (the energy of motion) as it swings back and forth. This cycle continues until the energy is dissipated through friction and air resistance.
Yes, a pendulum hanging on a rope does have a normal force. The normal force is the force that a surface exerts on an object that is in contact with it. In this case, the rope is the surface and the pendulum is in contact with it, so there is a normal force present.
The normal force does not have a significant effect on a pendulum. The motion of a pendulum is primarily influenced by gravity and the length of the pendulum. The normal force simply supports the weight of the pendulum, allowing it to swing back and forth.
No, the normal force cannot be greater than the weight of the pendulum. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the normal force will be equal to the weight of the pendulum, but in the opposite direction.
