Answer:

10 times

Explanation:

The weight of the person is defined as the product of mass of person and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

Let the gravity is g.

W = m x g .... (1)

Now the value of g depends on the mass of earth when the radius of earth is constant.

g' = 10 g

So, W' = m x g' = m x 10 g = 10 mg = 10 W (from (1)

So, the weight of the person becomes 10 times.

A 1.30-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

atroni [7]

Answer:

1. t = 0.0819s

2. W = 0.25N

3. n = 36

4. y(x , t)= Acos[172x + 2730t]

Explanation:

1) The given equation is

$y(x, t) = Acos(kx -wt)$

The relationship between velocity and propagation constant is

$v = \frac{\omega}{k}=\frac{2730rad/sec}{172rad/m}\\\\$

v = 15.87m/s

Time taken, $t = \frac{\lambda}{v}$

$= \frac{1.3}{15.87}\\\\=0.0819 sec$

t = 0.0819s

The velocity of transverse wave is given by

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{W}{\frac{m}{\lambda}}}$

mass of string is calculated thus

mg = 0.0125N

$m = \frac{0.0125N}{9.8N/s}$

m = 0.00128kg

$\omega = \frac{v^2m}{\lambda}$

$\omega = \frac{(15.87^2)(0.00128)}{1.30}$

$\omega =$ 0.25N

The propagation constant k is

$k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

hence

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}\\\\\lambda = \frac{2 \times 3.142}{172}$

$\lambda =$ 0.036 m

No of wavelengths, n is

$n = \frac{L}{\lambda}\\\\n = \frac{1.30m}{0.036m}\\$

n = 36

The equation of wave travelling down the string is

$y(x, t)=Acos[kx -wt]\\\\becomes\\\\y(x , t)= Acos[(172 rad.m)x + (2730 rad.s)t]$

$without, unit\\\\y(x , t)= Acos[172x + 2730t]$
