A 1.50-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceil- ing at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Ignore the

very small variation in tension along the length of the string that is produced by the weight of the string. When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equation. Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W.
(a) How much time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string?
(b) What is the weight W?
(c) How many wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time?
(d) What is the equation for waves traveling ?down? the string?

The wave equation is missing and it is y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)

Answer:

A) 0.0534 seconds

B) 0.67N

C) 41

D) (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)

Explanation:

we are given weight of string = 0.0125N

Thus, since weight = mg

Then, mass of string = 0.0125/9.8

Mass of string = 1.275 x 10⁻³ kg

Length of string; L= 1.5 m .

mass per unit length; μ = (1.275 x 10⁻³)/1.5

μ = 0.85 x 10⁻³ kg/m

We are given the wave equation: y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)

Now if we compare it to the general equation of motion of standing wave on a string which is:

y(x,t) = Acos(Kx − ω t)

We can deduce that

angular velocity;ω = 4830 rad/s

Wave number;k = 172 rad/m

A) Velocity is given by the formula;

V = ω/k

Thus, V = 4830/172 m/s

V = 28.08 m /s

Thus time taken to go up the string = 1.5/28.08 = 0.0534 seconds

B) We know that in strings,

V² = F/μ

Where μ is mass per unit length and V is velocity.

Thus, F = V²*μ =28.08² x 0.85 x 10⁻³

F = 0.67N

C) Formula for wave length is given as; wave length;λ = 2π /k

λ = 2 x π/ 172

λ = 0.0365 m

Thus, number of wave lengths over whole length of string

= 1.5/0.0365 = 41

D) The equation for waves traveling down the string

= (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)

What happenes to our body temperature on a cold winter day or a hot summer day
viva [34]

In cold winter day, the body temperature falls down from normal temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) to 95°F (35°C). In winter body losses heat faster than it generates heat. If the temperature fall further below 95°F (35°C), it is emergency condition known as Hypothermia. One has to consult doctor in this case.

In summer hot days, body evaporates water in the form of sweat, in order to remain itself cool. Rise of temperature up to 100°F is normal. It is recommended to hydrate body to maintain temperature in summer days.

A star is measured to be 18.9 light years from earth. what is the correct answer in the calculation shown below? (consider both
Lapatulllka [165]
A light year is a measurement of distance that is used in the space. It is the distance that a light traveled for 1 year on Earth or 365 days on Earth at a speed of 3 x 10^8 meters per second. To convert the units from light year to the SI unit meters, we simply make use of the definition of the unit. We do as follows:

18.9 light years ( 365 days / 1 light year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 3600 s / 1h ) ( 3 x 10^8 m/s) = 1.79 x 10^17 meters

Therefore, 18.9 light years is equal to 1.79 x 10^17 meters.
