Answer:

Therefore,

The frequency heard by the engineer on train 1

f_{o}=603\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other

For Train 1 Velocity of the observer,

v_{o}=145\ km/h=145\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}=40.28\ m/s

For Train 2 Velocity of the Source,

v_{s}=90\ km/h=90\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}=25\ m/s

Frequency of Source,

f_{s}=500\ Hz

To Find:

Frequency of Observer,

f_{o}=?  (frequency heard by the engineer on train 1)

Solution:

Here we can use the Doppler effect equation to calculate both the velocity of the source v_{s} and observer v_{o}, the original frequency of the sound waves f_{s} and the observed frequency of the sound waves f_{o},

The Equation is

f_{o}=f_{s}(\dfrac{v+v_{o}}{v -v_{s}})

Where,

v = velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s

Substituting the values we get

f_{o}=500(\dfrac{343+40.28}{343 -25})=500\times 1.205=602.64\approx 603\ Hz

Therefore,

The frequency heard by the engineer on train 1

f_{o}=603\ Hz

A cat walks along a plank with mass M= 7.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of the plank is a di
solong [7]

Answer:

Before the plank will tip cat will walk 1.652 m

Explanation:

Mass of the cat along with plank m_1=7kg

Center of mass of the plank d_1=0.850m

Mass of cat m_2=3.6kg

We have to find how far right of sawhorse B.

Plank will tip when weight of the cat about B is greater than the torque by the weight of the plank.

Balancing the the torque

m_1gd_1=m_1gd_2

7\times 9.8\times 0.850=3.6\times 9.8\times d_2

d_2=1.652m
