Physical pendulum

Submitted by Ali Khajehgani on

Hello,

I want to calculate the force of a physical pendulum with the 1.09Kg mass which is released from 91° angle and hits an object. I have set mgh=1/2mv^2 then W=1/2mv^2  (W=F*X) where x is the circel sector the pendulum travels from 91° to 0° , the pendulum hits the object at 0°, is the formula below correct to calculate the the force that hits the object?

F=(1/2mv^2)/x ??

Best regards

Ali

Dear Colleauges,

Peridynamics is a new continuum mechanics formulation and it is especially very suitable for modelling crack initiation and propagation. The importance of cracks in our daily life and how peridynamics can be useful for analysing cracks are highlighted at BBC News Scotland. For the details of the story, please click on the link below:
