AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a physics problem related to a pendulum's motion, specifically calculating the angle, velocity, and acceleration of a bob after 1.6 seconds. Participants emphasize the importance of listing relevant equations and showing work to receive feedback, as direct answers are not permitted. There is clarification on terminology, with "BoB" referring to the bob of the pendulum and "phai" likely indicating the phase angle. Questions arise about deriving the angle and determining parameters like angular frequency (w) and amplitude (A). The conversation highlights the need for a structured approach to solving the problem using simple harmonic motion principles.

1. Homework Statement :

BoB released from rest, L = 102 cm, theta = +-5 degrees, g = 9.81 m/s2
assume a SHM
(I) Determine the angle theta after 1.6 s
(II) Determine the magnitudes of velocity & acceleration of the BoB at 1.6 s

Homework Equations



theta = A sin (w t + phai)

The Attempt at a Solution



Does pahi represent the period? And how do I get it?
Do I derive theta once & twice? And why?
How do I get w & A?

Thank you!

FChebli: You must list relevant equations yourself, and show your work; and then someone might check your math. We are not allowed to provide answers here. We can only check your math, after you do all of the work. What is BoB? Parameter phai is probably phase angle.
