Answer:
Wave speed = Wavelength x Frequency
26 m/s = Wavelength x 49
Divide by 49 to find the wavelength:
The wavelength is approximately 0.53
Let me know if this helps!
Hi there!
We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.
Use the kinematic equation:

The block starts from rest, so:

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

mb = mass of the block
T = tension of string
Solve for tension:

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

Rewrite:

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

Now, plug in the values into the equation:
