Or.. (I just found this on the Internet..)
x(t) = Acos(2 X pi X f X t + phase of oscillation (pi/2, pi/4, etc)
is this that standard one you were talking about?
ooh, wait is it the equation for velocity on a string?
v = sqrt(FL/m)
so, in this case I guess F (tension) would have to be mass times gravitational force?
and then I could find velocity, right?
Hmm.. which shm equation would that be?
My teacher gave us many for different types of waves..
would this be considered a "double open" wave?
so, I would use
v = 2Lf?
and then, where would I use mass or angle?
thanks tiny-tim~~!
Homework Statement
A simple pendulum has a mass of 0.250 kg and a length of 6.00 m. It is displaced through an angle of 10.0° and then released. Solve this problem by using the simple harmonic motion model for the motion of the pendulum.
(a) What is the maximum speed?
(b) What is the...
