An ultrasonic ruler, such as the one discussed in Example 4 in Section 16.6, displays the distance between the ruler and an obje

ct, such as a wall. The ruler sends out a pulse of ultrasonic sound and measures the time it takes for the pulse to reflect from the object and return. The ruler uses this time, along with a preset value for the speed of sound in air, to determine the distance. Suppose that you use this ruler under water, rather than in air. The actual distance from the ultrasonic ruler to an object is 24.0 m. The adiabatic bulk modulus and density of seawater are Bad = 2.37 × 109 Pa and rho = 1025 kg/m3, respectively. Assume that the ruler uses a preset value of 343 m/s for the speed of sound in air. Determine the distance reading that the ruler displays.

Answer:

reading would be 5.413 m.

Explanation:

Given:-

- The actual distance from ruler to an object is d = 24.0 m

- The adiabatic bulk modulus, B = 2.37 *10^9 Pa

- The density of seawater, ρ = 1025 kg/m^3

- The preset value of speed of sound in air, v_th = 343 m/s.

Find:-

Determine the distance reading that the ruler displays.

Solution:-

- We will first determine the actual speed of the sound ( v_a) in sea-water which can be determined from the following formula:

                            v_a = √ (B /  ρ )

- Plug in the values in the relationship above and compute v_a:

                            v_a = √ ( 2.37 *10^9 /  1025  )        

                            v_a = 1520.59038 m/s

- The time taken (t) for for the sound to travel from source(ruler) to an object which is d distance away.

                            d = v_a*t

                            t = d / v_a

                            t = 24.0 / 1520.59038

                            t = 0.01578 s

- The distance reading on the ruler would be preset speed (v_th) of sound in air multiplied by the time taken(t).

                           reading = v_th*t

                           reading = (343)*(0.01578)

                                         = 5.413 m

A mass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. Initially, the mass is released from rest fro
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The equation of motion is x(t)=-\frac{1}{3} cos4\sqrt{6t}

Explanation:

Lets calculate

The weight attached to the spring is 24 pounds

Acceleration due to gravity is 32ft/s^2

Assume x , is spring stretched length is ,4 inches

Converting the length inches into feet x=\frac{4}{12} =\frac{1}{3}feet

The weight (W=mg) is balanced by restoring force ks at equilibrium position

mg=kx

W=kx ⇒ k=\frac{W}{x}

The spring constant , k=\frac{24}{1/3}

                            = 72

If the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position by an amount x, then the differential equation is

    m\frac{d^2x}{dt} +kx=0

    \frac{3}{4} \frac{d^2x}{dt} +72x=0

  \frac{d^2x}{dt} +96x=0

Auxiliary equation is, m^2+96=0

                                 m=\sqrt{-96}

                               =\frac{+}{} i4\sqrt{6}

Thus , the solution is x(t)=c_1cos4\sqrt{6t}+c_2sin4\sqrt{6t}

                                 x'(t)=-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6t}+c_2  4\sqrt{6} cos4\sqrt{6t}

The mass is released from the rest x'(0) = 0

                    =-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6(0)}+c_2 4\sqrt{6} cos4\sqrt{6(0)} =0

                                                    c_2 4\sqrt{6} =0

                                     c_2=0

Therefore , x(t)=c_1 cos 4\sqrt{6t}

Since , the mass is released from the rest from 4 inches

                    x(0)= -4 inches

c_1 cos 4\sqrt{6(0)} =-\frac{4}{12} feet

   c_1=-\frac{1}{3} feet

Therefore , the equation of motion is  -\frac{1}{3} cos4\sqrt{6t}

Talja [164]

Answer:

c. from south to north

Explanation:

since we know that:

F = qv×B

where F is the force and in this case is pointed upward

where v is the velocity due east

the field must be due north by the right hand rule

Therefore,  near the equator the magnetic field lines of the earth are directed north from south
