Explanation:

It is given that,

length of steel wire, l = 0.75 m

Mass of the wire, m = 12 g = 0.012 kg

Fundamental frequency, f = 120 Hz

We need to find the mass of the anvil (m'). The fundamental frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{v}{2l}

v is the speed of the mass

Speed is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

\mu is the mass per unit length,\mu=\dfrac{m}{l}

f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

T is the tension in the wire,

f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{Tl}{m}}

T=4f^2lm

T=4(120)^2\times 0.75\times 0.012

T = 518.4 N

Tension in the wire, T = m' g

m'=\dfrac{T}{g}

m'=\dfrac{518.4}{9.8}

m' = 52.89 kg

So, the mass of the anvil is 52.89 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

A dog is 60m away while moving at constant velocity of 10m/s towards you. Where is the dog after 4 seconds?
evablogger [386]
20m away

the dog was 60m away from. you subtract 40m since it is 10m/s x 4 seconds

Identify the independent, dependent, and constant variables for different experiments.
diamong [38]

ANSWER:

IV, Type of dish detergent. DV, height of foam. CV, type of container, amount of water in container, temperature of water, time the container is agitated.

Explanation:

Independent variable(IV)- what you change during the experiment.

dependent variable(DV)- what you're measuring during an experiment. The dependent variable is DEPENDENT because it's results DEPEND on the independent variable at play.

Constant variables(CV)- things that do not change in order to isolate the tested variables as much as possible.
