A 1.80-m string of weight 0.0126 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

ery 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 y(x,t)=(8.50mm)cos(172rad⋅m−1x−2730rad⋅s−1t) Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W.

Answer:

W = 0.135 N

Explanation:

Given:

- y (x, t) = 8.50*cos(172*x -2730*t)

- Weight of string m*g = 0.0126 N

- Attached weight = W

Find:

The attached weight W given that Tension and W are equal.

Solution:

The general form of standing mechanical waves is given by:

                            y (x, t) = A*cos(k*x -w*t)  

Where k = stiffness and w = angular frequency

Hence,

                           k = 172 and w = 2730

- Calculate wave speed V:

                            V = w / k = 2730 / 172 = 13.78 m/s

- Tension in the string T:

                            T = Y*V^2

where Y: is the mass per unit length of the string.

- The tension T and weight attached W are equal:

                           T = W = Y*V^2 = (w/L*g)*V^2

                            W = (0.0126 / 1.8*9.81)*(13.78)^2

                            W = 0.135 N

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.18

Explanation:

First, we write the equations of motion for each axis. Since the crate is sliding with constant speed, its acceleration is zero. Then, we have:

x: T+F-f_k=0\\\\y:N-mg=0

Where T is the tension in the rope, F is the force exerted by the first worker, f_k is the frictional force, N is the normal force and mg is the weight of the crate.

Since f_k=\mu_k N and N=mg, we can rewrite the first equation as:

T+F-\mu_k mg=0

Now, we solve for \mu_k and calculate it:

\mu_k=\frac{T+F}{mg}\\ \\\mu_k =\frac{220N+390N}{(350kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0.18

This means that the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor is 0.18.

What can you say about the magnitudes of the forces that the balloons exert on each other?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2} gravitational force

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2} electrostatic force

Explanation:

The forces that balloons may exert on each other can be gravitational pull due to the mass of the balloon membrane and the mass of the gas contained in each. This force is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance between their center of masses.

The Mutual force of gravitational pull that they exert on each other can be given as:

F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}

where:

G= gravitational constant  =6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

m_1\ \&\ m_2 are the masses of individual balloons

R= the radial distance between the  center of masses of the balloons.

But when  there are charges on the balloons, the electrostatic force comes into act which is governed by Coulomb's law.

Given as:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}

where:

\rm \epsilon_0= permittivity\ of\ free\ space

q_1\ \&\ q_2 are the charges on the individual balloons

R = radial distance between the charges.
