Problem 3.127
The double pendulum shown consists of two particles with masses
m1D7:5 kg
and
m2D12 kg
connected by two inextensible cords of length
L1D1:4
m and
L2D2
m and negligible mass. If the system is released from rest when
✓D10ı
and D20ı, determine the tension in the two cords at the instant of release.
Solution
Referring to the figure at the right, we model the two pendulum bobs
as particles of mass
m1
and
m2
subject to their respective weights,

Problem 3.128
Two small spheres
A
and
B
, each of mass
m
, are attached at either end of
a rod of length
d
. The system is released from rest in the position shown.
Neglect friction, treat the spheres as particles (assume that their diameter
is negligible), neglect the mass of the rod, assume the rod is rigid, and
assume that
d<R
.Hint: The force that the rod exerts on either ball has
the same direction as the rod itself.
Using the angle
✓
as the dependent variable, derive the equation of
motion for the particle system from the moment of release until particle
Breaches point D.
Solution
Following the problem statement, we model
A
and
B
as particles subject to their
weight

and
NB
, and the force
