Maximum displacement of a coupled pendulum

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the relationship between the maximum displacements of two coupled pendulums characterized by their angular frequencies, ω1 and ω2. The user has identified ω1 as √(g/l) and ω2 as √(g/l + 2k/m), but there is confusion regarding the variable l, which is not mentioned in the problem statement. Participants are encouraged to share their calculations and methods for deriving these angular frequencies to clarify the solution. A sketch illustrating the motion of the pendulums in relation to their maximum displacements is also requested. The conversation highlights the need for collaboration in solving complex physics problems.

Homework Statement
How are the maximum displacements of each pendulum related for ω1 and ω2? Draw a sketch that describes the motion of the system in each case
Relevant Equations
ω1 =√(g/l)
ω2=√(g/l+2k/m)
Hi,
So I have this question to solve and I have no idea how to do it.
It states: ''How are the maximum displacements of each pendulum related for ω1 and ω2? Draw a sketch that describes the motion of the system in each case. ''

The 2 angular frequencies that I have found are ω1 =√(g/l) and ω2=√(g/l+2k/m)

Then you must know something we don't know, because ##l## doesn't appear in the problem statement.

Please post your work ! How did you find ##\omega_1## and ##\omega_2\ ? ##

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
