Mathematically solve for the Force applies to hold a pendulum bob stationary 0.15 m away from the vertical axis. The mass of the bob is 30 kg
To solve for the force required to hold a pendulum bob stationary, we need to consider the gravitational force acting on the bob.
The gravitational force acting on an object is given by the formula: F = m * g
Where:
F is the force exerted on the object (in Newtons),
m is the mass of the object (in kilograms),
g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth).
In this case, the mass of the bob is given as 30 kg, and we need to find the force required to hold it stationary 0.15 m away from the vertical axis.
Therefore, the force required to hold the pendulum bob stationary is:
F = m * g
F = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2
Calculating this:
F = 294 N
So, the force required to hold the pendulum bob stationary is 294 Newtons.
