Question

I am looking for the force of impact in the case of a pendulum test with a steel ball of 50 kg, hanging on a cable of 2 meters, by different angles from 24 to 61 degrees. The impact will be on a glass or ceramic plate.

Answer 1

are you asking about the amount of force on a glass or ceramic plate???

Answer 2

at t=0 all the energy in the system is gravitational potential energy (assuming the pendulum starts at rest)

and

at t=f all the energy of the system is kinetic energy

Answer 3

gravitational potential energy is equal to
\[U=mgh\]where \(h\) is the height above zero potential


kinetic energy is equal to
\[KE=\tfrac12mv^2\]

Answer 4

We can assume that All the gravitational energy at t=0
has gone to kinetic energy at t=f

Answer 5

\[\theta\]
