I Not the classic coupled oscillators

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a pendulum system that oscillates 360 degrees with a rotating disc at its lower end. Participants suggest that the motion relates to gyroscopic precession and the frequency of a physical pendulum. Resources for further understanding include links to MIT materials and gyroscopic physics. The complexity of the system is acknowledged, indicating that it is not trivial to analyze. Overall, the conversation seeks assistance in analyzing the frequencies associated with this unique oscillating system.

I have a system of a rod hanging on a single point, that can oscilate 360 degrees. Attached to it's lower end is a rotating disc. As you release the pendulum with a starting angle of some kind, the system oscilates. Can anyone help me analize the frequencies related to this motion?

Thanks!

Hello NirHUJI, :welcome:

You mean like a gyroscope ? Fat books have been written on that. Not trivial at all.
 
I've attached a 2D drawing of the system, notice it has the possibily to move all around. The path it takes should be related to gyroscopic precession and the frequency of the physical pendulum. All help we will appreciated:)

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'A scenario of non-uniform circular motion'

(All the needed diagrams are posted below) My friend came up with the following scenario. Imagine a fixed point and a perfectly rigid rod of a certain length extending radially outwards from this fixed point(it is attached to the fixed point). To the free end of the fixed rod, an object is present and it is capable of changing it's speed(by thruster say or any convenient method. And ignore any resistance). It starts with a certain speed but say it's speed continuously increases as it goes...

Thread 'Do electron density waves accompany EM waves in coaxial cables?'

Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
