An aircraft maintenance technician walks past a tall hangar door that acts like a single slit for sound entering the hangar. Out

side the door, on a line perpendicular to the opening in the door, a jet engine makes a 610 Hz sound. At what angle with the door will the technician observe the first minimum in sound intensity if the vertical opening is 0.840 m wide and the speed of sound is 340 m/s

Answer:

The first minimum would be observed at 41.57°

Explanation:

v = 340m/s = speed of sound

f = 610Hz

d = 0.840m

λ = ?

Mλ = wsinθ

m = mth order minima

λ = wavelength incident on the single slit

θ = angular position of the mth minima

But, λ = v / f

λ = 340 / 610 = 0.557m

θ = sin⁻(mλ/d)

θ = sin⁻ [(1 * 0.557) / 0.840]

θ = sin⁻ 0.6635

θ = 41.57°

The first minimum would be observed at 41.57°

Masses A and B rest on very light pistons that enclose a fluid.There is no friction between the pistons and the cylinders they f
RSB [31]

Answer:

D)Not enough information

Explanation:

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure exerted on the two pistons is equal:

p_A = p_B

Pressure is given by the ratio between force F and area A, so we can write

\frac{F_A}{A_A}=\frac{F_B}{A_B}

The force exerted on each piston is just equal to the weight of the corresponding mass: F=W=mg, where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. So the equation becomes

\frac{m_A g}{A_A}=\frac{m_B g}{A_B}

Now we can rewrite the mass as the product of volume, V, times density, d:

\frac{V_A d_A g}{A_A}=\frac{V_B d_B g}{A_B}

We also know that A_B = 2.0 m^2\\A_A = 1.0 m^2

So we can further re-arrange the equation (and simplify g as well):

\frac{V_A d_A}{1}=\frac{V_B d_B}{2}

\frac{d_A}{d_B}=\frac{V_B}{2V_A}

We are also told that block B has bigger volume than block A: V_B > V_A. However, this information is not enough to allow us to say if the fraction on the right is greater than 1 or smaller than 1: therefore, we cannot conclude anything about the densities of the two objects.

Determine the magnitude of the effective value of g⃗ at a latitude of 60 ∘ on the earth. assume the earth is a rotating sphere.
dezoksy [38]
In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr) 
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>
