We want to hang a thin hoop on a horizontal nail and have the hoop make one complete small-angle oscillation each 2.0 s. What must the hoop’s radius be?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that the hoop makes one complete oscillation in 2s, this implies that the period of oscillation is 2s

Then,

T = 2s

Let Mass of the thin hoop be M

Let Radius of the hoop be R

Moment of inertial of a hoop is

I = MR²

Period of a physical pendulum of small amplitude is given by

T = 2π √(I / Mgd)

Where,

T is the period in seconds

I is the moment of inertia in kgm²

M is the mass of the hoop

g is the acceleration due to gravity

g = 9.8m/s²

d is the distance from rotational axis to center of of gravity

Therefore, d = R

Then, applying the formula

T = 2π √ (I / MgR)

So, we know that

I = MR²

Then,

T = 2π √( MR² / MgR)

T = 2π √(R/g)

Make R subject of formula

Square both sides

T² = 4π²(R/g)

T²g = 4π²R

Then, R = T²g / 4 π²

Since g = 9.8m/s² and T= 2s

R = 2² × 9.8 / 4π²

R = 0.993m

Then, the radius of the hoop is 0.993m

The radius of the hoop that makes one complete small-angle oscillation each 2.0 s is determined as 1.985 m.

Angular speed of the hoop

The angular speed of the hoop after 2.0 seconds is calculated as follows;

ω = 2πN

ω =  2π(1/2)

ω =  π rad/s = 3.142 rad/s

Linear speed of the hoop

v = ωr

From principle of conservation of energy

K.E = P.E

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

  • let the maximum height rolled by the hoop = r

v = √2gr

ωr  = √2gr

(ωr)² = 2gr

ω²r² = 2gr

ω²r = 2g

r = 2g/ω²

r = (2 x 9.8)/(3.142)²

r = 1.985 m
