Answer:
I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).
The moment of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.
By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2
I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2
To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the moment of inertia.
The given values can be defined as,
According to the definition of the moment of inertia applied to the exercise we can arrive at the equation that,
Where n is the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel.
Replacing the values at the general equation we have,
Solving for n,
Therefore the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel is 36
PART B) The mass of the wheel is given by the sum of all masses and the total spokes, then
Therefore the mass of the wheel must be of 1.36Kg
Given Information:
Wavelength = λ = 39.1 cm = 0.391 m
speed of sound = v = 344 m/s
linear density = μ = 0.660 g/m = 0.00066 kg/m
tension = T = 160 N
Required Information:
Length of the vibrating string = L = ?
Answer:
Length of the vibrating string = 0.28 m
Explanation:
The frequency of beautiful note is
f = v/λ
f = 344/0.391
f = 879.79 Hz
As we know, the speed of the wave is
v = √T/μ
v = √160/0.00066
v = 492.36 m/s
The wavelength of the string is
λ = v/f
λ = 492.36/879.79
λ = 0.5596 m
and finally the length of the vibrating string is
λ = 2L
L = λ/2
L = 0.5596/2
L = 0.28 m
Therefore, the vibrating section of the violin string is 0.28 m long.
The weight of the person is given by:
W = mg
W = weight, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration
Given values:
m = 40kg, g = 9.81m/s²
Plug in and solve for W:
W = 40(9.81)
W = 390N
