Tuning an Instrument. A musician tunes the C-string of her instrumeut to a fundamental frequency of 65.4 Hz. The vibrating porti

on of the string is 0.600 m long and has a mass of 14.4 g. (a) With what tension must the musician stretch it? (b) What percent increase in tension is needed to increase the frequency from 65.4 Hz to 73.4 Hz, corresponding to a rise in pitch from C to D?

(a) The tension the musician must stretch it is 147.82 N.

(b) The percent increase in tension is needed to increase the frequency is 26%.

<h3>Tension in the string</h3>

v = √T/μ

where;

v is speed of the wave
T is tension
μ is mass per unit length = 0.0144 kg / 0.6 m = 0.024 kg/m

v = Fλ

in fundamental mode, v = F(2L)

v = 2FL

v = 2 x 65.4 x 0.6 = 78.48 m/s

v = √T/μ

v² = T/μ

T = μv²

T = 0.024 x (78.48)²

T = 147.82 N

<h3>When the frequency is 73.4 Hz;</h3>

v = 2FL = 2 x 73.4 x 0.6 = 88.08 m/s

T = μv²

T = (0.02)(88.08)²

T = 186.19 N

<h3>Increase in the tension</h3>

= (186.19 - 147.82)/(147.82)

= 0.26

= 0.26 x 100%

= 26 %

Thus, the tension the musician must stretch it is 147.82 N.

The percent increase in tension is needed to increase the frequency is 26%.

A 180 lb crate is on the ground, and a strong rope is attached. You need to move it across the basement floor, which has a coeff

jekas [21]

Answer:

$F = 505.13 N$

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

Explanation:

Let the force is applied at an angle of 60 degree

so we will have net vertical force on the crate is given as

$F_n + Fsin60 = mg$

here we know

$m = 180 lb$

$m = 81.65 kg$

$F_n = 81.65(9.81) - Fsin60$

$F_n = 801 - 0.866 F$

now friction force on the crate is given as

$F_x = \mu F_n$

$Fcos60 = 0.7(801 - 0.866 F)$

$0.5F + 0.61F = 560.7$

$F = 505.13 N$

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

A point charge with charge q1 = 3.40 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.90 μC moves

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

-0.79 J

Explanation:

We are given that

$q_1=3.4\mu C=3.4\times 10^{-6} C$

$1\mu C=10^{-6} C$

$q_2=-4.9\mu C=-4.9\times 10^{-6} C$

$x_1=0.125,y_1=0$

$x_2=0.280,y_2=0.235$

We have to find the work done by the electric force on the moving point charge.

$r_1=\sqrt{x^2_1+y^2_1}=\sqrt{(0.125)^2+0}=0.125$

$r_2=\sqrt{(0.280)^2+(0.235)^2}=0.366$

Work done, $W=kq_1q_2(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

Using the formula

$W=9\times 10^9\times 3.4\times 10^{-6}\times(-4.9\times 10^{-6})(\frac{1}{0.125}-\frac{1}{0.366})$

$W=-0.79 J$

A truck travels up a hill with a 5.7° incline. The truck has a constant speed of 22 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the

tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.
