Writing a coursework, especially on a complex topic like the Damped Pendulum, can be a

challenging task for many students. This type of coursework typically requires a deep understanding
of theoretical concepts, mathematical calculations, data analysis, and the ability to communicate
findings coherently. Here are some reasons why writing a Damped Pendulum coursework can be
difficult:

1. Theoretical Understanding: Understanding the theoretical foundations of a damped


pendulum involves grasping concepts from physics and mathematics. This requires a solid
comprehension of differential equations, damping forces, and oscillatory motion.
2. Mathematical Complexity:Solving equations and performing mathematical calculations
related to the damped pendulum can be intricate. Students need to demonstrate proficiency in
mathematical techniques such as solving differential equations and interpreting the results.
3. Experimental Setup: For courses that involve experimental work, setting up and conducting
experiments with a damped pendulum may pose challenges. This includes precise
measurement techniques, data collection, and analysis.
4. Data Analysis: Analyzing the data collected during experiments or simulations is a crucial
aspect of coursework. Students must be adept at using software tools for data analysis, and
interpreting results in the context of the damped pendulum system.
5. Scientific Writing Skills:Communicating findings effectively in a written format is a skill
that not all students possess. Presenting the coursework in a coherent and logical manner,
along with proper referencing, is crucial for academic success.

For those finding it difficult to navigate through these challenges, seeking assistance from
professional writing services like ⇒ HelpWriting.net ⇔ can be a viable option. These services often
have experts in various fields, including physics, who can provide well-researched and well-written
coursework tailored to specific requirements.

However, it's essential to emphasize the importance of ethical considerations when using external
help. While seeking assistance is acceptable, submitting someone else's work as your own is
considered academic dishonesty and can have serious consequences. Instead, use such services as a
guide to better understand the topic and to improve your own writing skills. Always ensure that the
use of external help complies with your educational institution's guidelines and policies.
Drag coefficient depends on the shape of the object and the Reynolds number. Here the speed and
kinetic energy are a maximum and the gravitational potential energy is a minimum. Derive the
differential equation for the motion of the mass M and determine the resonance frequency. Firstly I
took a piece of string 50cm long and attached securely a small bob at the end of the string. To
establish which factors influence the period of a pendulum To understand how the period of a simple
pendulum can be used to establish a value for g experimentally. Period (T) - time to make one
oscillation Frequency (f) - number of oscillations per unit time. Period. Frequency. In symbolic form.
or. Small amount of energy is lost due to air resistance as the pendulum swings. The forces on a
pendulum are due to gravity and tension. If this was not the case and if the damping was almost
entirely due to the bob of the pendulum, the graphs should all coincide, or at least be
indistinguishable from one another. As the length of the string increases the period of the pendulum
also increases. At higher Reynolds numbers and before the onset of turbulence flow, Reynolds
number is fairly constant, which means that the drag force is quadratic in velocity. As the thread
passes the mid point the stopwatch is started and counting is started. I need to record the time period
but it is too short, so I will time 20 periods and then divide the final time by 20 to give me the time
period of the pendulum. During the entire experiment, the total length of the pendulum was 261.4
cm, 258.9 of which was the length of the string. Thus, we need to substitute the line for computing
the time-list data. Furthermore, since this element is moving with small speeds, the drag force on it is
proportional to its speed. So I can say that the length of the thread affects the period of a pendulum.
It has zero Kinetic Energy (KE) and maximum Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) because it’s the
highest point. Finally, if the amplitude of oscillations is small, we have. The longer the length of the
thread the longer the time period of the pendulum. The third term on the right hand side of this
equation is the torque caused by the force of air resistance on the bob of the pendulum, in which. The
pendulum will swing to one side, then back through the centre and to the other side. The magnitude
of the drag force on this element of the string. Abstract: Several cases of the Forced damped
pendulum are numerically demonstrated using the mathematical modeling package MLAB. I was
careful to use accurate measurements in order to obtain sufficiently accurate results, for example: the
string was measured with a meter ruler to the nearest mm, to ensure that each measurement had a
difference of 10cm. You should be able to find these concepts in more details in a System Modelling
book. The angle of amplitude must not be very big because then the gravitational potential energy
will increase tremendously. Numerical solutions show that both chaotic and periodic solutions of.
Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics, 5, 122-130. Because it is a linear homogeneous ODE,

is justified, which is further supported by the results in Figure 2 and Figure 3. Derive the differential
equation of motion of the system, then assume small amplitudes and solve for 0(t). The number of
bottles produce per day are as follows whisky 1500, 11500, beer. The length of the pendulum is
carefully measured from the place where the thread emerges from the cork to the middle of the
pendulum bob. When the pendulum is at the top of its swing it is momentarily stationary. The longer
the length of the thread the longer the time period of the pendulum. To this end, the general
assumption is that the drag force due to the air resistance on the bob of the pendulum is the cause of
its damping, and normally the air resistance on the string of the pendulum is assumed to be negligibly
small. After selecting the two points I found the gradient of the graph. However, the amplitude of a
simple pendulum oscillating in air continuously decreases as its mechanical energy is gradually lost
due to air resistance. Numerical solutions show that both chaotic and periodic solutions of.
Furthermore, since this element is moving with small speeds, the drag force on it is proportional to its

this was not the case and if the damping was almost entirely due to the bob of the pendulum, the
graphs should all coincide, or at least be indistinguishable from one another. The length of the
pendulum was measured from the base of the split cork to the middle of the metallic bob. Thus, we
need to substitute the line for computing the time-list data. To investigate the properties of a
pendulum To make an experimental determination of the acceleration due to gravity. Each time I
increase the thread length by 10 cm and measure another reading. The angle of amplitude at which
the bob swings should be the same. I need to record the time period but it is too short, so I will time
20 periods and then divide the final time by 20 to give me the time period of the pendulum. The
angle of amplitude must not be very big because then the gravitational potential energy will increase
tremendously. Thus, we experimentally investigate the damping of a simple pendulum as a function
of its string diameter and compare that to the contribution from its bob. Abstract: Several cases of

Each time I increase the thread length by 10 cm and measure another reading. So I can say that the
length of the thread affects the period of a pendulum. For string we used monofilament nylon
fishing lines of various diameters. This, however, is not surprising because even though the string of a
simple pendulum may be very thin, its total frontal cross-sectional area can be comparable to that of
the bob of the pendulum. If this was not the case and if the damping was almost entirely due to the
bob of the pendulum, the graphs should all coincide, or at least be indistinguishable from one
another. Here the speed and kinetic energy are a maximum and the gravitational potential energy is a
minimum. The angle of amplitude must not be very big because then the gravitational potential
energy will increase tremendously. A least- squares analysis gives the following equation for the best
line. To the best of our knowledge, this effect has not been taken into account in the discussions of
damping of pendulums in the literature. Although the thickness of each string was consistent
throughout its length, we measure the diameter 8 times along its length while the string was under
load. In my brain, I can picture a pendulum starting at equilibrium position, flying with some crazy
initial velocity, and that equation is telling me, yeah. Numerical solutions show that both chaotic and

frequency. Please note that there is only one correct answer per box and no answers are repeated. We
find out that although in some cases the effect of the string might be small or even negligible, in
general the string can play a significant role, and in some cases even a greater role on the damping of

In a vacuum with zero air resistance, such a pendulum will continue to oscillate indefinitely with a
constant amplitude. In the 6th century B.C. - ARISTARCHUS 1543, COPERNICUS. NEWTON. In
