I hope it's not too late, but here you go
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.
firstly you get your acceleration with the formula, a=v-u/t. Then you use the formula for kinetic energy 1/2mv^2
then you can finally get the answer for power by dividing your previous answer by the time
This problem involves Newton's universal law of gravitation and the equation to follow would be.
F = GM₁M₂/r²
Given: M₁ = 0.890 Kg; M₂ = 0.890 Kg; F = 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N; G = 6.673 X 10⁻¹¹ N m²/Kg²
Solving for distance r = ?
r = √GM₁M₂/F
r = √(6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ N m₂/Kg²)(0.890 Kg)(0.890 Kg)/ 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N
r = 0.81 m
