Q6.39Multiple choice
Two pendulums with identical bobs and lengths are suspended from a common support such that in rest position the two bobs are in contact (Fig. 6.14). One of the bobs is released after being displaced by 10o so that it collides elastically head-on with the other bob.
This question refers to a figure in the original PDF.
- (a)Describe the motion of two bobs.
- (b)Draw a graph showing variation in energy of either pendulum with time, for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2T , where T is the period of each pendulum. Fig. 6.14
