Consider a string of total length L, made up of three segments of equal length. The mass per unit length of the first segment is

μ, that of the second is 2μ, and that of the third μ/4. The third segment is tied to a wall, and the string is stretched by a force of magnitude Ts applied to the first segment; Ts is much greater than the total weight of the string. How long will it take a transverse wave to propagate from one end of the string to the other? Express the time t in terms of L, μ, and Ts.

Answer:

Explanation:

Length of each segment is \frac{L}{3}

Speed of wave in first segment is v_1=\sqrt{\frac{T_s}{\mu}}

Speed of wave in second segment is v_2=\sqrt{\frac{T_s}{2\mu}}

Speed of wave in third segment is v_3=\sqrt{\frac{T_s}{\frac{\mu}{4}}}=\sqrt{\frac{4T_s}{\mu}}

Now time for the transverse wave to propagate is

t=t_1 + t_2 + t_3\\=\frac{(\frac{L}{3})}{v_1}+\frac{(\frac{L}{3})}{v_2} + \frac{(\frac{L}{3})}{v_3}\\\\=(\frac{L}{3})(\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{T_s}{\mu}}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{T_s}{2\mu}}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{4T_s}{\mu}}})

simplifying we get

t=(\frac{3+2\sqrt{2}}{6})L\sqrt{\frac{\mu}{T_s}}

Tcecarenko [31]
A. Food chain

A food web also shows the flow of energy and materials through an ecosystem but in a complex web, not a single chain. A biogeochemical cycle does not deal with the flow of energy/materials through an ecosystem at all.

Two charges, each q, are separated by a distance r, and exert mutual attractive forces of F on each other. If both charges becom
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

F = ⅔ F₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

         F = k q₁q₂ / r²

let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions

          F₀ = k q² / r²

now the charge changes q₁ = q₂ = 2q and the new distance is r = 3 r

       

we substitute

          F = k 4q² / 9 r²

          F = k q² r² 4/9

          F = ⅔ F₀

At a certain instant, coil A is in a 10-T external magnetic field and coil B is in a 1-T external magnetic field. Both coils hav
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A) coil A

Explanation:

According to Faraday, Induced emf is given as;

E.M.F = ΔФ/t

ΔФ = BACosθ

where;

ΔФ  is change in magnetic flux

θ is the angle between the magnetic field, B, and the normal to the loop of area A

A is the area of the loop

B is the magnetic field

From the equation above, induced emf depends on the strength of the magnetic field.

Both coils have the same area and are oriented at right angles to the field.

Coil A has a magnetic field strength of 10-T which is greater than 1 T of coil B, thus, coil A will have a greater emf induced in it.
