In a string of length L, the wavelength of the n-th harmonic of the standing wave produced in the string is given by:
The length of the string in this problem is L=3.5 m, therefore the wavelength of the 1st harmonic of the standing wave is:
The wavelength of the 2nd harmonic is:
The wavelength of the 4th harmonic is:
It is not possible to find any integer n such that , therefore the correct options are A, B and D.
Answer:
a. Fnet =37.67N
b. The direction = 133.4 from the x axis counter clockwise.
c. Option 2
Explanation:
Given that F1 is 53N at 116°, then it will be at a direction of 116-90=26° in the second quadrant.
Given that F2 is 57N at 116°, then it will be at a direction of 217-180=37° in the third quadrant..
Given that F1 is 71N at 20°, then it is in the first quadrant.
a. Fnet= F1+F2+F3
Fnet= -F1sin26i+F2cos26j-F2cos37i-F2sin37j+F3cos20i+F3sin20j
Fnet= 53sin26i+53cos26j-57cos37i-57sin37j+71cos20i+71sin20j
Resolving the vectors into x and y components.
Fnet= -2.04i+37.62j
Magnitude of the vector
Fnet= √((-2.04)^2+(37.62)^2)
Fnet= 37.67N
Fnet is approximately 38N.
b. Direction of the Fnet.
Angle=arctan(y/x)
Angle=arctan(-37.61/2.04)
Angle= -43.37°
The angle is in the negative x axis and positive y axis.
Then the direction becomes 180-43.37
Therefore, the direction of the net force is 133.37°.
c. The instantaneous velocity of a body is always in the direction of the net force at that instant. Option 2 is correct.
Fnet=ma
Fnet= mv/t
So the velocity is in the direction of the Fnet.
