18:12:42 GOOD STUDENT ANSWER: A point moving around a circle can be represented by two perpendicular lines whose intersection is that point point of constant velocity. The vertical line then is one that moves back and forth, which can be sychronized to the oscillation of the pendulum.

18:13:35 GOOD STUDENT ANSWER: The mid point velocity of the pendulum represents its greatest speed since it begins at a point of zero and accelerates by gravity downward to equilbrium, where it then works against gravity to finish the oscillation. GOOD STUDENT DESRIPTION OF THE FEELING: At the top of flight, the pendulum 'stops' then starts back the other way. I remeber that I used to love swinging at the park, and those large, long swings gave me such a wonderful feeling at those points where I seemed tostop mid-air and pause a fraction of a moment.Then there was that glorious fall back to earth. Too bad it makes me sick now. That was how I used to forget all my troubles--go for a swing. *&*& INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: That extreme point is the point of maximum acceleration. **

18:14:54 ** The given solution is for a 30 kg light. You should be able to adapt the details of this solution to the 33 kg traffic light in the current edition: The net force on the light is 0. This means that the net force in the vertical direction will be 0 and likewise for the net force in the horizontal direction. We'll let the x axis be horizontal and the y axis vertical and upward. Let T1 be the tension in the 37 deg wire and T2 the tension in the 53 deg wire. Assuming that the 37 deg is with the negative x axis then T1 acts at the angle 180 deg - 37 deg = 143 deg. Gravity exerts a downward force of 30kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294N. The x and y components of the forces are as follows: x y weight 0 -294 N T1 T1 cos(143 deg) T1 sin(143 deg) T2 T2 cos(53 deg) T2 sin(53 deg) The net force in the x direction is T1 cos(143 deg) + T2 cos(53 deg) = -.8 T1 + .6 T2 The net force in the y direction is T1 sin(143 deg) + T2 sin(53 deg) - 294 N = .6 T1 + .8 T2 - 294 N. These net forces are all zero so -.8 T1 + .6 T2 = 0 and .6 T1 + .8 T2 - 294 N = 0. Solving the first equation for T1 in terms of T2 we obtain T1 = .75 T2. Plugging this result into the first equation we get .6 ( .75 T2) + .8 T2 - 294 N = 0 which we rearrange to get 1.25 T2 = 294 N so that T2 = 294 N / 1.25 = 235 N approx. Thus T1 = .75 T2 = .75 * 235 N = 176 N approx.. **

18:15:17 ****The solution given here is for a person 170 cm tall, rather than 172 cm tall. You should be able to adapt the given solution to the 172 cm height; all distances will increase by factor 172 / 170 = 86 / 85, a little more than 1%: The center of gravity is the position for which the net torque of the person is zero. If x represents the distance of this position from the person's head then this position is also 170 cm - x from the person's feet. The 35.1 kg reading indicates a force of 35.1 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 344 N and the 31.6 kg reading indicates a force of 31.6 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 310 N, both results approximate. About the point x cm from the head we then have the following, assuming head to the left and feet to the right: }torque of force supporting head = -344 N * x torque of force supporting feet = 310 N * (170 cm - x). Net torque is zero so we have -344 N * x + 310 N * (170 cm - x) = 0. We solve for x: -344 N * x + 310 N * 170 cm - 310 N * x = 0 -654 N * x = -310 N * 170 cm x = 310 N * 170 cm / (654 N) = 80.5 cm. The center of mass is therefore 80.5 cm from the head, 89.5 cm from the feet. **

18:16:16 ** Cord A supports the .0360 kg ball against the force of gravity. We have T - m g = 0 so T = m g = .0360 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = .355 N. The second ball experiences the downward .355 N tension in string A, the downward force .0240 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = .235 N exerted by gravity and the upward force Tb of tension in string B so since the system is in equilibrium Tb - .355 n - .235 N = - and Tb = .59 N. If Tc and Td are the tensions in strings C and D, since the point where strings B, C and D join are in equilibrium we have Tcx + Tdx + Tbx = 0 and Tcy + Tdy + Tby = 0. Noting that strings C and D respectively make angles of 53.1 deg and 143.1 deg with the positive x axis we have Tby = =.59 N and Tbx = 0. Tcx = Tc cos(53.1 deg) = .6 Tc Tcy = Tc sin(53.1 deg) = .8 Tc Tdx = Td cos(143.1 deg) = -.8 Td Tdy = Td sin(143.1 deg) = .6 Td. So our equations of equilibrium become .6 Tc - .8 Td = 0 .8 Tc + .6 Td - .59 N = 0. The first equation tells us that Tc = 8/6 Td = 4/3 Td. Substituting this into the second equation we have .8 (4/3 Td) + .6 Td - .59 N = 0 1.067 Td + .6 Td = .59 N 1.667 Td = .59 N Td = .36 N approx. so that Tc = 4/3 Td = 4/3 (.36 N) = .48 N approx.. Now consider the torques about the left end of the rod. We have torques of -(.200 m * Td sin(36.9 deg)) = -.200 m * .36 N * .6 = -.043 m N (note that this torque is clockwise, therefore negative). -(.800 m * Tc sin(53.1 deg) = -.800 m * .48 N * .8 = -.31 m N and 1.0 m * Tf, where Tf is the tension in string F. Total torque is 0 so -.043 m N - .31 m N + 1.0 m * Tf = 0 and Tf = .35 N approx.. The net force on the entire system is zero so we have Te + Tf - .59 N = 0 or Te = .59 N - Tf = .59 N - .35 N = .24 N. **
