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}}

Inside a television picture tube there is a build-up of electrons (charge of 1.602 × 10^–19 C) with an average spacing of 38.0 n
Brut [27]
The magnitude of electric field is produced by the electrons at a certain distance.

E = kQ/r²

where: 
E = electric field produced
Q = charge
r = distance
k = Coulomb Law constant 9 x10^9<span> N. m</span>2<span> / C</span><span>2

Given are the following:
Q = </span><span>1.602 × 10^–19 C
</span><span>r = 38 x 10^-9 m

Substitue the given:
E = </span>\frac{( 1.602 x 10^{-19} )( 9.0x10_{9} )}{(38x10^{-9}) ^{2} }

E = 998.476 kN/C

A(n) 1100 kg car is parked on a 4◦ incline. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the force of friction keeping the ca
igomit [66]

Answer:

Force of friction, f = 751.97 N

Explanation:

it is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1100 kg

It is parked on a 4° incline. We need to find the force of friction keeping the car from sliding down the incline.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the normal and its weight is acting on the car. f is the force of friction such that it balances the x component of its weight i.e.

f=mg\ sin\theta

f=1100\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\ sin(4)

f = 751.97 N

So, the force of friction on the car is 751.97 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A long, current-carrying solenoid with an air core has 1800 turns per meter of length and a radius of 0.0165 m. A coil of 210 tu
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The mutual inductance is  M  =  0.000406 \  H

Explanation:

From the question we  are told that

    The  number of turns per unit length  is  N =  1800

    The radius is  r = 0.0165 \ m

     The  number of turns of the solenoid is  N_s  =  210 \ turns

   

Generally the mutual inductance of the  system is mathematically represented as

       M  =  \mu_o  *  N *  N_s  *  A

Where A is the cross-sectional area of the system which is mathematically represented as

       A  =  \pi  *  r^2

substituting values

      A  =  3.142 *  (0.0165)^2

       A  =  0.0008554 \ m^2

also   \mu_o is the permeability of free space with the value  \mu_o  =   4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2

So  

      M  =  4\pi * 10^{-7}   *1800 *  210  *  0.0008554

      M  =  0.000406 \  H
