Double pendulum angular momentum, m1 = 1, m2 = 2 kg
Short answer
With a=0.5 m, b=0.6 m, ω1=2 rad/s, ω2=4 rad/s, calculate positions and velocities. Angular momentum sum gives H_O ≈ 7.50 k̂ kg·m²/s counter-clockwise.
A double pendulum as shown in figure below oscillates in the X-Y plane. As shown in figure below, rad/sec. CCW and rad/sec CCW. What is at this instant if kg and kg. The lower pendulum is connected to mass by a pin joint and is free to rotate about this point. [Figure: upper arm of length 0.5 m from O at to the X axis (X down, Y to the right), carrying ; lower arm 0.6 m carrying at to the vertical.]
Take the origin at the fixed pivot , vertically downward, to the right and out of the plane ( = counter-clockwise). Assume both arms lie on the same (right-hand) side of the vertical, and that is the absolute angular velocity of the lower arm (as is usual in this problem). Angular momentum of the system about :
Position vectors
Upper arm ( m at to the -axis), lower arm ( m at to the vertical):
Velocities
Angular momentum
Answer: kg m²/s (counter-clockwise, about the axis perpendicular to the plane).
