Answer:
Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m
The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.
For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.
Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.
Now we can find the velocity of the wave.
Velocity = frequency × wavelength
v = 0.574 × 0.418
v = 0.239 m/s
So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.
As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.
The boy sits on a chair.
We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.
The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.
At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2
Hence the weight of the boy [m is the mass of the body]
we have m = 50 kg.
Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2
=490 N kg m/s^2
= 490 N
Here newton [N] is the unit of force.
