14.53. Two pendulums have the same dimensions (length L) and total mass (m). Pendulum A is a very small ball swinging at the end of a uniform massless bar. In pendulum B, half the mass is in the ball and half is in the uniform bar. Find the period of each pendulum for small oscillations. Which one takes longer for a swing?

A mass hanging from a spring can oscillate in the verticaldirectionor can swing as a pendulum of small amplitude, but notboth at thesame time. Which one is longer, the period of theverticaloscillations or the period of the horizontal swings, andby whatamount? [Hint: Let be the length of theunstretched spring,and L be its length with the massattached at rest.]

14.52 - A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pen- dulum. The pendulum is pulled to one side so that the rod is at an angle 8 from the vertical, and released from rest. (a) In a diagram, show the pendulum just after it is released. Draw vectors repre- senting the forces acting on the small sphere and the acceleration of the sphere. Accuracy counts! At this point, what is the linear acceleration of the sphere? (b) Repeat part (a) for the instant when the pendulum rod is at an angle /2 from the vertical. (c) Repeat part (a) for the instant when the pendulum rod is vertical. At this point, what is the linear speed of the sphere?
