Answer:

T1 = 130N, T2 = 370N

Explanation:

In order for the system to be at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero and the torque around a point on the beam must be zero.

1. forces:

Let tension in rope 1 be T1 and in rope 2 be T2:

ma = T1 + T2 - 100N - 400N = 0

(1) T1 + T2 = 500N

2. torque around the center point of the beam:

τ = r x F = 5*T1 + 3*400N - 5*T2 = 0

(2) T1 - T2 = -240N

Solving both equations:

T1 = 130N

T2 = 370N

An 80-cm-long steel string with a linear density of 1.0 g/m is under 200 N tension. It is plucked and vibrates at its fundamenta
icang [17]

Answer:

Wavelength of the sound wave that reaches your ear is 1.15 m

Explanation:

The speed of the wave in string is

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

where T= 200 N is tension in the string , \mu=1.0 g/m is the linear mass density

v=\sqrt{\frac{200}{1\times 10^{-3} }

v=447.2 m/s

Wavelength of the wave in the string is

\lambda =2L=2\times 0.8=1.6 m

The frequency is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} \\f=\frac{447.2}{1.6}\\f=298.25 Hz

The required wavelength pf the sound wave that reaches the ear is( take velocity of air v=344 m/s)

\lambda=\frac{v_{air}}{f} \\\lambda=\frac{344}{298.25} \\\lambda=1.15 m
