Clever problem.

We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks. So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is 6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz. But which one is it ?

Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz. That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.

If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.

The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz. While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.

Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on your diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is

erica [24]

Complete question:

A diver is 10 m below the surface of water. Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Answer in units of Pa. Show your work.

Answer:

Tthe pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

diver's position below the surface of the water, h = 10 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Let the atmospheric pressure, P₀ = 101325 Pa

The pressure 10 m below the surface of the water is calculated as;

P = P₀ + ρgh

P = 101325 Pa + (1000 x 9.8 x 10)Pa

P = 199325 Pa

P = 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa.

Therefore, the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Using the equation for the period of a physical pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of leg about perpendicular axis at one point = mL²/3 where m = mass of man = 67 kg and L = height of man = 1.83 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of leg from center of gravity of man = L/2 (center of gravity of a cylinder)

So, T = 2π√(I/mgh)

T = 2π√(mL²/3 /mgL/2)

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

T = 2π√(2 × 1.83 m/(3 × 9.8 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(3.66 m/(29.4 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(0.1245 s² ))

T = 2π(0.353 s)

T = 2.22 s

T ≅ 2.2 s

So, the period of the man's leg is 2.2 s

Calculate the work against gravity required to build the right circular cone of height 4 m and base of radius 1.2 m out of a lig

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Work done = 35467.278 J

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the cone = 4m

radius (r) of the cone = 1.2m

Density of the cone = 600kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Now,

The total mass of the cone (m) = Density of the cone × volume of the cone

Volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

thus,

volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi 1.2^2\times 4$ = 6.03 m³

therefore, the mass of the cone = 600 Kg/m³ × 6.03 m³ = 3619.11 kg

The center of mass for the cone lies at the $\frac{1}{4}$ times the total height

thus,

center of mass lies at, h' = $\frac{1}{4}\times4=1m$

Now, the work gone (W) against gravity is given as:

W = mgh'

W = 3619.11kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1 = 35467.278 J
