A pendulum consists of a bob of mass m=0.1 ~kg and a massless inextensible string of length L=1.0 ~m . It is suspended from a fixed point at height H=0.9 ~m above a frictionless horizontal floor. Initially, the bob of the pendulum is lying on the floor at rest vertically below the point of suspension. A horizontal impulse P=0.2 ~kg - m / s is imparted to the bob at some instant. After the bob slides for some distance
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
The magnitude of the angular momentum of the pendulum about the point of suspension just before the bob lifts off is, Angular momentum about top point L = m V × 0 . 9 L = 0 . 2 × 0 . 9 ⇒ L = 0 . 18   kg   m - 2   s Hence, J = 0 . 18 .
