Answer:

mb = 3.75 kg

Explanation:

System of forces in balance

ΣFx =0  

ΣFy = 0

Forces acting on the box

T₁ : Tension in string 1 ,at angle of 50° with the horizontal on the left

T₂  = 40 N : Tension in string 2, at angle of 75° with the horizontal on the right.

Wb :Weightt of the box (vertical downward)

x-y T₁ and T₂ components

T₁x= T₁cos50°

T₁y= T₁sin50°

T₂x= 30*cos75° = 7.76 N

T₂y= 30*sin75° = 28.98 N

Calculation of the Wb

ΣFx = 0  

T₂x-T₁x = 0

T₂x=T₁x

7.76 = T₁cos50°

T₁ = 7.76 /cos50° = 12.07 N

ΣFy = 0  

T₂y+T₁y-Wb = 0

28.98 + 12.07(cos50°) = Wb

Wb = 36.74 N

Calculation of the mb ( mass of the box)

Wb = mb* g

g: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

mb = Wb/g

mb = 36.74 /9.8

mb = 3.75 kg

A laser of wavelength 720 nm illuminates a double slit where the separation between the slits is 0.22 mm. Fringes are seen on a
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "2.78 mm".

Explanation:

Given:

\lambda = 720 \ nm

or,

  = 720\times 10^{-9} \ m

D=0.85 \ m

d = 0.22 \ mm

or,

  =0.22 \times 10^{-3} \ m

As we know,

Fringe width is:

⇒ \beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

hence,

Separation between second and third bright fringes will be:

⇒ \theta=\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

       =\frac{720\times 10^{-9}\times 0.85}{0.22\times 10^{-3}}

       =2.78\times 10^{-3} \ m

or,

       =2.78 \ mm

Real springs have mass. How will the true period andfrequency
Ad libitum [116K]

Explanation:

An perfect mass less spring, attached at one end and with a free mass attached at the other end, will have a distinct frequency of oscillation depending on its constant spring and mass. On the other hand, a spring with mass along its length will not have a characteristic frequency of oscillation.

Alternatively, based on its spring constant and mass per length, it will now have a wave Speed. It would be possible to use all wavelengths and frequencies, as long as the component fλ= S, where S is the spring wave size. If that sounds like longitudinal waves, like solid sound waves.

Three resistors of resistances, R1=10Ω, R2=5Ω, R3=20Ω are connected in a circuit in such way that same amount of current flows t
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer

Explanation:

As the three resistors are connected in series, the expression to be used for the  

calculation of RT equivalent resistance

is:  

RT = R1 + R2 + R3

We replace the data of the statement in the previous expression and it remains:  

5 10 15 RT + R1 + R2 + R3 + +

We perform the mathematical operations that lead us to the result we are looking for:  

RT - 30Ω
