A net force of magnitude 36N gives an object of mass m1 an acceleration of 6.0m/s2. The same net force gives m1 and another obje

In working toward the complete solution of this problem,
I'm going to use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division.  Also, I think I'll be using Newtons 2nd law of motion
like at least fifteen times, so I'll write it here for our review: 

                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration).

-- When 36 N of force acts on m₁ it accelerates at 6 m/s² .

                                             36 N = (m₁) x (6 m/s²)

Divide each side by  6 m/s² :    m₁ = (36 N) / (6 m/s²) = 6 kg . 

-- The same force acting on (m₁+m₂) accelerates them at 2 m/s² .

                                             36 N = (6kg + m₂) x (2 m/s²)

Divide each side by  2 m/s² :    6kg + m₂ = (36N) / (2m/s²) = 18 kg

Subtract  6kg  from each side:            m₂ = 12 kg .

-- The same net force acts on  m₂  alone:

                                             36 N = (12 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by  12 kg :    Acceleration = (36 N) / (12 kg) = 3 m/s² .

Answer:

Maximum Radius = 2.89m

Explanation:

The maximum radius will be determined by the angle of incidence which is equal to the critical angle. Now, any angle larger than that will make the light to be totally internally reflected. Hence, we can figure out that angle from Snell’s law where the refracted angle is 90°, and then use the tangent function.

From Snell's law;

n_air*sin90° = n_water*sin(θ _c)

Where;

θ_c is the critical angle

Refractive index of water; n_water = 1.333

Refractive index of air;n_air = 1

Thus;

1*1 = 1.33sinθ_c

sinθ_c = 1/1.33

θ_c = sin^(-1)0.7519

θ_c = 48.76°

Like I said earlier, we'll use tangent to find the radius.

Thus;

tanθ_c = d/R

From the question, d = 3.3m

Thus;

3.3/tan48.76 = R

So, R = 2.89m

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

161.938 Hz

Explanation:

the computation of the fundamental resonant frequency is shown below

p = 1100 kg/m^3

A = 130 mm^2

= 130 ×10^-6 m^2

T = 600 N

L = 20 cm

= 0.2 m

Now the linear density of tendon is

=  1100 kg/m^3 ×  130 ×10^-6

= 0.143 kg/m

Now the wave of the string is

= √600  ÷ √0.143

= 64.775 m/s

Now finally the fundamental resonant frequency is

= 64.775 ÷ (2 × 0.2)

=161.938 Hz
