If the surface was rough, the block would spend energy overcoming a retarding friction force as it moved
toward the equilibrium position, causing it to arrive at that position with a lower speed than that computed
above. Computing a number value for this lower speed requires knowledge of the coefficient of friction
between the block and surface.

Treating the wing as a rigid bar, all points in the wing have the same angular velocity at any instant in time. As the
wing rocks on the fulcrum, the inner tip and outer tips follow circular paths of different radii. Since the angular
velocities of the tips are always equal, we may write

Note that as the spring passes through the vertical position, the object is moving in a circular arc of radius

yf. Also, observe that the y-coordinate of the object at this point must be negative y f
0 so the spring is
stretched and exerting an upward tension force of magnitude greater than the object’s weight. This is necessary
so the object experiences a net force toward the pivot to supply the needed centripetal acceleration in this
position. This is summarized by Newton’s second law applied to the object at this point, stating

Because the length of this pendulum varies and is longer throughout its motion than a simple pendulum of
