Velocity ratio is also defined as the ratio of a distance through which any part of a machine moves, to that which the driving part moves during the same time. An object has a mechanical advantage if it exerts a force higher than the velocity ratio.
Answer:
5. Is greater than mg, always
Explanation:
If the cone has an inclination of angle β, the sum of forces will be:
x-axis (centripetal axis):
N*sin β = m*ax where ax is the centripetal acceleration
y-axis:
N*cos β - m*g = m*ay where ay is the vertical acceleration. If the block starts falling down, ay will be negative. If the block starts sliding up, ay will be positive. If the block does not move up nor down, ay=0.
Solving for N:

If ay is positive or zero, N will be greater than mg. If ay is negative, N will be less than mg.
If the block is sliding along a horizontal circular path (not up, nor down), ay = 0, so N will always be greater than mg.
Answer:
(a) The ratio of the pressure amplitude of the waves is 43.21
(b) The ratio of the intensities of the waves is 0.000535
Explanation:
Given;
density of gas,
= 2.27 kg/m³
density of liquid,
= 972 kg/m³
speed of sound in gas,
= 376 m/s
speed of sound in liquid,
= 1640 m/s
The of the sound wave is given by;

Where;
is the pressure amplitude

(b) when the pressure amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the intensities is given as;

The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.
