AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the frequency of small oscillations for a bar suspended by two cords. The approach suggested involves treating the system like a physical pendulum, despite the complexity introduced by the dual cord setup. A small displacement leads to the calculation of the restoring force using small-angle approximations. The need for additional information, such as the lengths of the cords or the distance from the bar's center to the pivot, is highlighted as crucial for solving the problem accurately. Understanding the dynamics of this system is essential for deriving the correct oscillation frequency.

Homework Statement


A bar of length L is hanged by two cords(on the two edges of the bar) of length l in 1 pivot. What´s the frequency of small oscillations arond the stable position


Homework Equations


T=2\pi\sqrt{\Theta/mgd}


The Attempt at a Solution


I would try to solve it as a physics pendulum, but I am not sure that is it a physics pendulum, because its hanging on two cords, and before this there was always only 1 cord.

Displace the bar by a small amount and compute the restoring force f, making the usual small-angle assumption(s) for the angle θ between the vertical and a line drawn from the c.m. to the pivot. Then solve f(θ) = ma(θ) as usual.

BTW the problem should also have given the lengths of the two supporting cords, or the distance from the bar's center to the pivot point.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
